Another XC90 attempt!
Hello!
I’m picking up my Volvo XC90 tonight, a 2005 D5 executive model in silver, just passed it mot & im trading my Kia Sorento in for it- need 7 seats for the 4 kids! It’s obviously no minter @ 13 years old but it’s totall acceptable for a kid taxi/work truck/dog walking car. It does however require a service & has an srs airbag warning light on, hopefully this is just needs clearing at my mates garage as I’ve read disconnecting certain electrical components can bring up that fault? |

You are correct - disconnections can cause the faults but you should get the codes read and investigated to be sure...
If it's a 163 E3 model then check the AWD system - lots of articles on here. Welcome and enjoy! You will find it a substantial improvement on the Kia...

Alarm service required- battery leaks onto pcb Check awdsystem, by turning the prop shaft or wheel spinning! Check the CD player Check rear diffs for noise I picked it up now & it’ll be going to the garage for a thourough going over & fingers crossed it won’t need too much spending on it. |

Passed mot with airbag light? I thought under new regs that was a straight fail?

I think when you go from the Kia to the Volvo you'll be disappointed. My Sorento was a much better car than the XC90. I guess that depends what year your Sorento is though. Mine was a 2013 versus a 2007 XC90.
Regarding the airbag, definitely get that checked before you buy it, it could be very expensive. Also worth doing a history check. Airbag warning lights can be a tell tale sign that its had a shunt, not always but sometimes. |
