XC90 Running Costs
Hi All
Thought I'd bring this one up to date and rename it (previous thread is https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showt...90647)....hope folks will find it useful. I list out below the maintenance and repair costs for my 2006 163hp XC90. I've used pretty much the same indie the entire time, and whilst not cheap his work has always been spot on. All parts are genuine Volvo. 2013: 7 year service, 122k - £553 2014: service, 133k - £650 2015: service, 143k - £278 (a different specialist) 2015: major gearbox work - £3,600 2015: SAS, callipers - £861 2015: misc - £133 2016: service, callipers, sensors, bushes, mounts, 153k - £1,643 2017: service, EGR, mounts, bushes, oil leaks, 163k - £1,631 2017: ABS sensors, CCM replaced - £658 2018: service, mounts, seals, 171k - £899 2019: service, fitment of used hub and driveshaft 177k - £973 2019: split hose replaced - £100 2020: service (inc brake fluid) 187k - £365 2021: service 192k - £267 2022: service and cambelt change 199k - £1170 2023: service , new intercooler and front discs/pads/hoses 209k - £1331 2023: rear suspension changed (dampers and springs) - £800 2023: replaced driveshaft and OSF ARB link - £475 2024: service and new parking sensor fitted 220k - £561 2024: headliner replaced - £540 Not a cheap car to run, but just back from a 1,500 mile return trip to France with the family. Runs like a dream and feels like it could go on forever. |

Lots of work done. That car probably will run for many years to come, but like you say, it hasn't been cheap... over 17k spent
Personally, I don't think I'd ever invest that amount of money into a car to run it. I would have just bought a newer model with much less mileage, as come sale time, you'll never get near what you've spent on it (unless you sold it to someone that knows about Volvo's, but even then, its a stretch). Not that I have anything 'against' anyone that does... its their decision and their money! For me though, I would have walked away from that a long time ago. Particularly when the multiple thousand repair came up for the transmission rebuild. I do admire people that keep these old cars on the road chugging along though. Fair play to you. Each to their own though, as the saying goes... Hopefully there's many more miles left in her yet.

I'd been too scared to tally it up!
I guess it's less than £1.5k per year, which maybe isn't too awful. I comfort myself with the fact my boss has a black edition Toerag which costs her £800 per month on PCP. Apple and pears perhaps but it helps me sleep at night |

That's definitely one way in looking at it.

pcp is dead money unless you are putting it through as a business perk they are no good for the general motorist.= massive expenditure with nothing to show at the end.

All cars require maintenance of some sort, but there comes a point where its just not financially viable (in my opinion).

But, let's say you buy a new car, the depreciation is at least 2-3k.. more per year.
An older car the depreciation is less as the years go by. Take it to the limit... Where I am with a 20 year old xc90 , there is no depreciation at all. If the car is clean and works, reasonably well maintained, and does the job, then surely you are a winner! After a few years of ownership, the repairs you carry out are your own wear and tear. So we should not be concerned that parts just simply wear out. If the car is otherwise ok, and you enjoy the ride, just fix it. That's my philosophy, but I doubt my 'other half' agrees. |

When a car gets to 220,000 miles, its obviously been maintained to get to that point. Just from there on (or long before), its not a matter of if things will go wrong, its a matter of when. No matter what, its still a 220,000 mile car. Age and mileage takes over in the end, and rust. I guess it depends on how much you value the car and how much you want to keep putting into it.

Looking at the list, he's owned the car for 11 years, so £17k / 11 = £ 1,550 per year in maintenance. Remove the unfortunate gearbox rebuild from the equation and its £1,200 per year.
Land Rover Discovery/Range Rover owners would be delighted with that.....
