The Volvo V90 has one named generation (2017-present). See how each group of build years does at its MOT.

Build years & generations, side by side

Find the build years you're looking at and see which generation they are. You'll also see which group of build years the MOT figures come from.

  • Built 2017-2020

    Generation
    Mk2
    Figures from
    cars built 2017-2020

    Counted with this generation only.

  • Built 2021+

    Generation

    Figures from
    cars built 2021 onwards

    Counted with every car built from 2021.

“Figures from” is the group of build years behind each card's MOT figures. Years where one generation gave way to the next can sit in a wider group until there's enough history to split them.

How each group of build years performs

Each card shows MOT results for one group of Volvo V90 build years. “Age” means the car's age on the day of its MOT, not its build year. “25+” groups every test on cars aged 25 or older.
