1994 Volvo 900 Series: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 59% pass first time (all 1994 cars: 67%) Stands out: exhaust system 2.5×, tread depth 2.1×, sidelights 2.6× 786 MOTsSee the petrol guide ›

Diesel and Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
