Volvo S90

As a Volvo, the S90 sits at the premium end — expect a higher purchase price, but strong refinement and equipment.

Volvo offers electrified options across its range, so depending on the year you may find petrol, hybrid or fully electric versions of the S90. Check the exact drivetrain before you buy — running costs and motor tax differ a lot between them.

A few things worth checking before you commit:

• NCT status: confirm a current cert and check the history for advisories.
• Service history: a full, stamped history is reassuring and protects resale value.
• Mileage vs. age: very high or suspiciously low mileage both deserve questions.
• Imports: many used cars here are UK imports — check VRT has been paid and the paperwork is in order.
• Recalls & known issues: a quick search for the specific year can save you money later.
