With fluid changes (£75 quid a pop and done on the drive with ease - don’t even jack it up!) every 75k they generally last forever whereas your manual has an expensive dual mass flywheel.
Also bear in mind any of the euro 5s are out as they didn’t sell with a manual period and that you will have no choice of anything. A quick check on autotrader reveals 388 mk1 XC90 of which 373 are auto. The remaining 15 available (across the entire united kingdom) are almost all active or S models so that’s electric windows with half cloth interior and basically nothing else).
Good luck with your search just don’t rule out the
very very reliable, efficient and good autos.

Thanks you so much for information it’s very much appreciated
Reference the 850 it’s tricky to know how to price, auto, manual etc history and body work condition
Lots of imports on the market currently
I’ve had the 850 10 years and it’s been a labour of love to get it share it needs to be as it stands now
Put it this way the wife thinks it’s cost half as much as I’ve told her!!
