The VOLVO XC90 (2006-10) is a large, premium family SUV, offering a driving position and roomier, more versatile cabin than a typical estate car. It sits among established seven-seat rivals such as the BMW X5 and Land Rover Discovery, appealing to buyers who want comfort, space and a solid feel. In mycarcheck.com data, this model attracted 6,860 checks covering 2,924 different VINs, a substantial sample. The average private-sale valuation was £4,200, while recorded mileage averaged 138,000 miles and annual mileage 7,000. These figures suggest many examples have worked hard, so check service history, condition and running costs carefully before buying. The XC90 suits families needing extra seats, luggage space and long-distance comfort, but is less suited to drivers wanting low fuel bills or easy city parking. Its cabin distinguishes it from sportier rivals. Checks show 3.5 previous keepers on average, so compare histories: a well-kept example is a capable SUV.
