Every model year, scored

Same math for every year (how we score). A neutral Unproven or Too New stamp means too few owner reports are on file to affirm the year, not that it’s clean.

The fine print: each year’s verdict is computed from public NHTSA complaint and recall records for the Volvo XC90 T6 Awd as a model, not for any individual car.
