While they may spend more time on road than off, SUVs can still have a pretty hard life, so you need confidence they won't let you down. Shop smart with our reliability top10
If you’re looking for an upmarket car to ferry around your children and all the luggage you could ever need, the Volvo XC90 is a fine option – as long as you don’t mind its rocky reliability record.
More than a third of non-hybrid XC90s went wrong over the past year, with an alarming number developing issues with the engine and the electrical systems. Furthermore, 26% of cars with issues spent more than a week with mechanics, and 15% broke down. On the brighter side, nobody was billed for repairs, despite Volvo’s three-year/60,000 mile warranty having lapsed on earlier cars.
Despite the faults, 56% of cars could still be driven to a mechanic, but once they arrived 44% were stuck there for more than a week. Worse still, 11% of owners had to pay for remedial work, to the tune of more than £1500.If you’re scratching your head wondering whether to buy a Volkswagen T-Cross or the very similar T-Roc, question it no longer, because we’d recommend going for the latter on the basis of reliability.
Electrical issues plagued the T-Cross over the past year, contributing in large part to its 30% failure rate. These were serious faults, too, causing breakdowns for 14% of vehicles, and lead times of more than a week for repairs for 29%. To make matters worse, 14% of owners were billed between £1001 and £1500, even though Volkswagen’s three-year/60,000 mile warranty won’t yet have lapsed.
