2018 Volvo V90 2.0L Diesel · CO17 MAR

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 15 April 2026 at 74,467 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates an improving trend in roadworthiness compared to the previous year, where the car suffered a minor failure and carried multiple advisories. While the current test status is clear of immediate safety-critical failures, the history reveals a pattern of wear-and-tear issues that required addressed attention over the last three testing cycles. At a recorded 74,467 miles over approximately eight years, the vehicle averages roughly 9,300 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent with typical expectations for an executive estate of this age. The records show a consistent annual testing frequency with regular intervals between June 2022 and April 2026. There are no significant gaps in the history or sudden spikes in mileage that suggest the vehicle sat for long periods or was subjected to unusually heavy commercial use. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension components based on recurring advisories. The April 2024 test flagged pitted and scored front brake discs, while the 2023 record noted thin pads on both front sides. Although the 2026 test showed no defects, the mechanical state of the rotors and calipers should be verified. Additionally, the 2024 failure regarding a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft CV boot necessitates a check to ensure no grease leakage or internal damage has occurred to the drivetrain joint. Tyre condition also requires scrutiny, given the 2024 advisory for cracking or perishing on the nearside rear tyre and the 2023 advisory for an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. These notes suggest that consumable maintenance follows the age of the rubber rather than just the tread depth. The presence of a child seat in 2024 and 2025 prevented a full inspection of the adult seatbelt, so the buyer must manually check the belt webbing for fraying or mechanical damage in person. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.
