2016 Volvo XC90 2.0L Diesel · AV16 AGX

This Volvo XC90 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, the most recent of which occurred just ten months ago on 11 September 2025 at 115,236 miles. The absence of advisories or failings in any of the tests suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if not exemplary, servicing and has not encountered any systemic failures in its core safety-critical systems. The most recent test confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the lack of advisories does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection to assess wear items not routinely checked during an MOT. The mileage progression of approximately 11,500 miles per year aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity. The intervals between tests are standard, with each MOT falling within the 12-month window before the previous one, indicating consistent registration and testing. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern to suggest neglect or excessive wear beyond what would be expected for a vehicle of this mileage and age. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear components not fully covered by the MOT, such as the suspension bushes and coil springs—particularly the rear, where Volvo models are prone to gradual degradation. The brake system, including rear binding calipers and front-to-rear wear disparity, should be scrutinised, as should the exhaust system for signs of corrosion or leaks, especially around the catalytic converter. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns warrant immediate attention, though the MOT’s absence of defects suggests they were within limits at the time of the last test. Finally, a visual inspection of the underbody and wheel arches is essential to identify any corrosion that may compromise structural integrity, particularly in a vehicle of this age and mileage.
