2025 VOLVO XC90 Ultra Bright

This 2025 Volvo XC90 is listed with a salvage certificate and “FRONT END” as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the unverified front-end damage claim; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The vehicle has extensive collision damage across the front end. The hood is severely buckled, raised, dented, and creased across the front portion. The image-left headlamp is broken, with its lens and housing damaged, internal components exposed, and portions of the assembly missing. The image-left front fender is torn, cracked, and deformed around the headlamp and wheel arch. The front bumper cover is severely torn and partially missing, with large openings and exposed components. Lower bumper trim and other front-end pieces are detached or hanging. The image-right front corner also has extensive fascia damage, with sections absent or broken and internal components visible. Additional loose trim or grille material is hanging below the damaged area. The driver airbag has deployed from the steering wheel, indicating that the restraint system will require inspection and likely replacement of affected components. The visible findings do not establish the condition of the frame, cooling system, suspension, steering, high-voltage system, engine, transmission, or other components behind the damaged exterior. A thorough structural, mechanical, electrical, and safety-system inspection is recommended before purchase or repair. According to the VIN decode, this is a Swedish-built 2025 Volvo XC90 SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder plug-in hybrid powertrain, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The decode lists three rows and six seats, along with standard driver-assistance features including forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear visibility assistance. These systems and their sensors should be tested after repairs. Two NHTSA recall records are listed for this model and year. Recall 25V282000 concerns software that may prevent the rearview-camera image from displaying when reverse is selected; the remedy is a free dealer or over-the-air software update. Recall 25V908000 addresses the same rearview-camera issue, replaces the earlier recall, and states that vehicles previously repaired under 25V282 will require the new remedy. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Volvo or NHTSA.
