2015 VOLVO XC902.0L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 101,979 miles passed, the tester identified a missing offside front fog lamp and both front tyres reaching the legal limit. This indicates that while the vehicle is mechanically operational, basic consumable items and exterior trim are being neglected between service intervals, following a clean result in the December 2024 test. The recorded mileage of 101,979 miles over 11 years reflects a consistent usage of approximately 9,271 miles per annum, which aligns with typical expectations for a large SUV. The data shows steady annual accumulation, with roughly 13,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 11,400 miles in the year leading up to that period. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which generally benefits the condition of rubber seals and hydraulic components. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front suspension geometry, given the play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint noted in late 2023. Although this was rectified to pass the test, the subsequent wear on the front tyre edges in 2025 suggests potential alignment issues or worn bushings that require attention. The buyer should also verify that the ABS system remains stable, as the warning lamp failure in December 2023 indicates a sensor or electronic fault that may have been intermittent or prone to return. Braking components show a history of wear, with thin rear pads flagged in December 2022 at 71,701 miles. Given the current mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs for scoring and the calipers binding is necessary. The missing fog lamp is a minor cosmetic safety issue, but it reinforces the pattern of the owner only addressing faults once they trigger an MOT failure or advisory.
