The VOLVO XC90 (2003-06) 5DR STATION WAGON 2.4 D5 185 S is a large, premium-minded SUV, offering a practical alternative to an estate car and a commanding view of the road. Its roomy cabin and flexible seating make it appealing to families needing space for children, luggage and longer journeys. In mycarcheck.com checks, this model has attracted 138 look-ups covering 63 different VINs, a useful sample of real buyer research. The recorded cars average 148,000 miles, around 6,000 miles a year, and nearly five previous keepers; average private-sale valuation is £2,300. These figures describe checked vehicles, not every XC90. The D5 diesel’s pulling power suits family trips and motorway use, while the XC90 is known for comfort, solid-feeling construction and understated Scandinavian design. Against BMW X5 and Land Rover Discovery rivals, it prioritises relaxed space over sporty handling. For used buyers, condition and service history matter especially at these mileages.
