It does have the swirl flaps. They may have been done. Not a huge job if not. Circa £100 on parts if your handy with spanners.

If its a manual it is the lower tax bracket.

Check when the Auto fluid was changed, if ever.

if not, make sure you take the car for a good long run, give it some beans and get the auto fluid hot. If its starts banging into and out of gears, then the valves in the GB may need attention, if it doesn't and it hasn't had GB fluid changed, do it. With 132k on, its good advice to change if to prevent any issues.

Lots of recent posts requesting advice on XC90 purchase, Have a search.
