This 2004 Volvo XC90 presents a mixed profile due to significant data discrepancies between sources regarding its engine and fuel type. While official records confirm the model and year, aggregated data suggests a diesel D5 Executive variant, whereas other sources point to a T6 AWD petrol version, requiring careful physical verification.
Verdict
The vehicle's identity is solidly confirmed by official NHTSA data, but there are notable inconsistencies between sources regarding the engine configuration and fuel type. You must physically verify whether this is a T6 petrol or D5 diesel model, as the data does not provide a clear consensus.

What to watch for
Engine Verification: Crucial to confirm if the engine is the 2.4L Diesel (D5) or the 2.4L Turbo Petrol (T6), as sources disagree. The T6 is known for high oil consumption and spark plug issues, while the D5 may have turbo or injector concerns.
Rust: Check the rear wheel arches, undercarriage, and door sills, as early XC90s are prone to corrosion in these areas.
Suspension: Inspect the rear multi-link suspension arms and bushings, which wear out with age and can cause clunking noises.
Gearbox: Ensure the automatic transmission shifts smoothly without hesitation or harsh engagement, as repairs can be costly.

Warnings
Data Discrepancies: There is a conflict between sources: Sursa 2 lists "D5 Executive" with Diesel fuel, while Sursa 3 lists "T6 AWD" with a 2901cc engine (typically petrol). Official NHTSA data confirms the model but does not specify the engine variant. This requires physical inspection to determine the true engine type.
Import Risk: The VIN starts with 'Y', indicating Sweden. There is no indication of North American import (VINs starting with 1, 4, or 5), so this risk is not applicable here.
