We just discovered after replacing our first set of front brakes that the right front caliper was dragging and wore the outside pad down to metal. We of course couldn’t really tell until the calipers were greased up with anti-seize with new rotors and pads were installed. It didn’t pull to the right at all beforehand. Car now gets just shy of 24mpg which is +3 better than it did when we bought it new. Avoid suffering, check yours out!
Looking for a V90 to be my next Volvo, at the very least a T5.

2017 XC90 Inscription - My best Volvo by far, but Ex-wife departed & I had to sell. 😕
2001 S80 T6 - rebuilt trans, head gasket, fixed & sold
1997 V70 - kid car, sold
1996 850 GLT - found under bridge, 2 year refurb project, commuter car, kid car, T-Boned - SIPS saved passenger. Totaled.
1997 VW GTI VR6 - exceedingly fast.
1971 VW Type II/231 - it was pointed out by management that the children would be killed in it.
