Is this unusual for this model?
| Compared with | What it says |
|---|---|
| Every car in the data | 0.3% of tests record it — this model is 3.3× that share |
| The 218 models compared | 24 of 218, highest first |
| The model's own record | 210,525 tests · every year of the XC90 → |
A share of tests is not a probability for your car: it counts every Volvo XC90 tested, whatever its mileage, service history and use. The like-for-like comparison on the model page is the fairer number.
