The above car will require new VOLVO shoes and new discs, It will then need bedding in by driving with it half on for 100 years , let it cool then re adjust ,,,, The owner above can't have used it at all if he took it for MOT with a poor handbrake . That is the killer not using it ! It allows the disc surface to corroded inside where the shoes are ...

For decent grip typical is about 5 to 6 clicks

get it adjusted up a bit it should go to 3 clicks to grip if it goes past that the leverage is not enough . That is the first thing to try , if no good drive for a short distance with the parking brake on , it may clean up the inside of the disc enough to work better , you will have to adjust it up more after that .

I am aware that this is not the Volvo prescribed method for the XC90 but as a general engineering solution it is far more elegant, robust, resilient and logical.
