This 2022 Volvo XC90 is a concerning MOT performer, with a first-time pass rate of just 43.1%—well below the UK average of 80%—suggesting significant reliability or build quality issues for this model year. The dangerous defect rate is mercifully low at 1.8%, but the consistency of problems across the cohort is the real worry.

At a median mileage of 81,501 km for a two-year-old car, these vehicles have covered reasonable distance, yet they're failing their tests at roughly twice the national rate, pointing to genuine mechanical or electrical problems rather than owner neglect. With nearly half of these cars needing a retest, you should budget for pre-purchase inspection by a specialist and expect ongoing remedial work—get a full warranty history before committing.
