If I was buying a SUV at the sub £3k end of the market I would get an XC90 all day long... more reliable than Land Rover/Range Rover, and now there are a good numbers in breakers yards, there are no parts that are prohibitively expensive and with relatively easy access to VIDA/Dice there's no job a competent home mechanic can't do if they're prepared to read and research a bit.

I'm sure early L322's and D3's are probably just as cheap to get parts for but I think the reliability of the XC90 is a key advantage.

I get that some of the Jap 4x4 stuff is probably even more reliable and robust but not nearly as refined or comfortable.

And with an XC90 you don't need to be a welder :-)
