1995 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 64% pass first time (all 1995 cars: 67%) Stands out: exhaust system 2.1×, brake discs 1.9×, battery 3.2× 1,421 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 67% pass first time (all 1995 cars: 67%) Stands out: tread depth 2.3× 168 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

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