What is your XC90 milage?
 

Hi All,

I just wanted to have an idea what type of mileage people have on their XC90's in this community. Please share yours.

I'm looking to buy a 2003 or 2004 XC90 & just want to have an idea of what mileage to I can get these days. Saw some ads with 150K to 200K.

I'm currently looking at a 2003 XC90 with 165k.

She's a game old bird but I think it is fair to say she has issues. Drives nicely but has most of the usual old XC90 issues. I may well have a punt though because I fancy doing her up and I don't want to teach myself on a pricey car.

What are the usual issues? I became interested with the XC90 as my mate has bought a 2003 version & I really liked the way it looks & the practicality & no DPF

What do I need to look out for?

I've got 141k on mine, I bought it without driving it because the gearbox was fooked. This was a risk but actually worked out ok-ish. The ish part is really down to the price of genuine Volvo parts.

The car had full history, 50% with main dealer, but still had minor issues. The bits I replaced to get it up to spec were handbrake shoes and adjusters, track rod ends, anti roll bar links, lots of bulbs. I had the alloys refurbed as they were scabby and four new tyres.

Jobs still to do are the engine mounts (common D5 problem, vibration in cabin) and I still have a creak from the n/s front suspension.

Drives very, very well though...

174,000 and still pulls like a tank ... :thumbs_up:

2003 D5 SE with 91k


had a few issues but overall drives superbly and handles really well

190k and still getting 35mpg plus as an average. Fantastic cars.

Rapidly approaching 218,000...

Purchased over a year ago with 194k'ish, one owner and FULL main dealer history...

Has been utterly reliable apart from..

Splined sleeve (common fault, but normally before 200k!)

Transfer box bearing failure (annoyingly six months after I had the damn thing out to replace sleeve above)

Lower wishbone bushes

1 faulty injector

I'm happy, and car looks, runs and drives like a 50k miler - EVERYTHING works as it should..

04 plate D5 engine, 168k and getting average of 36mpg (mostly only use it for long motorway runs). Love it.

T6 with 150k has the usual gearbox issues but drives great all the same.
