Hybrid Reliability
Currently in the market and looking to buy a 2-3 year old V90 Petrol T5,
thought about doing the 'right thing' and considering hybrid. Thanks to this excellent resource and its like minded contributors I have read about the woes of the T6/8 and wondered if anyone has had issues with the newer B series notably B5? My gut feeling is best sticking with old school. TIA any answers of experience. |

Can't answer about Volvo, but for the last 4 years have a 2015 Toyota Auris Hybrid estate.
Been reliable. Have had a new 12 volt starter battery in the lockdown due to age and non usage. 6 months after buying the AC failed. Condenser radiator leaking but replaced under 12 months used car warranty. Paid when bought a 2 year warranty, so had 3 years from when bought and not had to use it, now all lapsed. Have it serviced by Toyota and get a further 12 month relax warranty. While it is serviced they do a hybrid health check on the battery and warranty it also for a further 12 months, believe max 100k miles. Replaced tyres/ disks/pads as with normal maintenance. Only covered 48,000 miles, so low mileage for the age. Like the £0 road tax as pre April 2017 and 50-60mpg depending on temperature etc. No alternator, starter motor, drive belts. James. |
