AI Market Summary

Spacious, refined seven-seater with excellent build quality and strong safety credentials; comfortable on longer journeys.
Fairly valued at mid-range; diesel XC90s hold their worth reasonably well, though turbo/injector repairs can be costly surprises.
DPF clogging is the main concern—common on urban-driven examples or those with frequent short trips; injector carbon buildup also reported.
Before purchase, request full service history and check for DPF warning lights; ask seller about driving patterns (motorway vs. city use).
At 139k km median, this is well within expected range; budget €1,200–€2,500 for a potential DPF clean or injector service soon after buying.
