Well just sold my 5th XC90, (06 185 exec)
With all of them, from a early 52 plate, to the latest, not had any problem with any, bar for a couple of rear wheel bearings (warranty) front steering arms (recall) and a bi-Xeons dropping dead !! All been service outside of the dealer network from new,(with still keeping 3 year warranty) so been reasonable service cost wise,
Fuel wise, around the 30mpg, but they all have had ECU remaps, a lot of towing (Ribs & horseboxes) and not light on the throttle, hence tyres wise, rarely got more that 12-14k from the tyres there have been other post of people getting loads of miles from tyres, How i have not a clue !! must be all light footed motorway miles !!

Now been changed for a 6 month old Range Rover Sport HSE, with 6k on it, in 2 months, its had 7 working days back at the dealer for warranty work,(Cooling fan, Cruise, Park sensors, suspension knocks, poor radio reception, new fuel tank, etc) An 08 year XC90 exec will be ordered mid year, to replace it !!
