2018 Volvo V90 2.0L Diesel · F8 OCJ

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is rated as satisfactory, but the MOT record indicates a significant deterioration in maintenance history, particularly concerning the suspension and drivetrain components. The most recent test on 2026-06-04 at 113,724 miles was successful, yet this test was preceded by a severe constant velocity boot failure on the offside front drive shaft joint, which has since been repaired. This indicates that while the engine and drivetrain have been maintained, the suspension bushings and coil springs are likely in poor condition, a pattern that suggests basic upkeep was skipped or neglected. The mileage trend reveals a notable gap in data, with the vehicle only recording a single MOT entry in 2024 at 103,739 miles. This is a significant discrepancy given that the vehicle is approximately eight years old and has accumulated over 80,000 miles since its first recorded test. The absence of MOTs in 2023 and 2022 suggests that the owner did not maintain the car for a full year, resulting in a lack of data on wear patterns for those specific years. The rapid accumulation of miles since the 2023 test, combined with the lack of a 2024 entry, implies that the vehicle may have been driven for only a few months or was driven in very limited circumstances, leading to accelerated wear on suspension and braking components. Given the history, the buyer must inspect the rear suspension bushings and coil springs for binding and corrosion, as well as the brake discs and calipers for wear. The lack of MOTs in 2023 and 2022 creates a risk of unexpected wear on these critical components over the next few years. While the engine and drivetrain have been maintained, the suspension is likely in poor condition, and the lack of 2024 data means the owner may have only maintained the car for a short period, potentially leading to premature wear on the suspension bushings and coil springs.
