2014 VOLVO XC902.4L Diesel

The 2014 Volvo XC90 holds a current roadworthy status following the most recent DVSA test on 8 April 2026 at 69,061 miles, where the examiner issued a pass with no defects recorded. That examination falls merely three months before the present date of 9 July 2026, confirming fresh certification. Maintenance trend across the available history stays stable, showing no worsening faults or recurring advisories. The vehicle cleared previous annual examinations on 8 April 2025 at 65,086 miles and 29 April 2024 at 62,109 miles, each with a clean sheet. Recorded mileage sits low for a twelve year old vehicle, totalling 69,061 miles or roughly 5,755 miles per year. The chronology reveals steady but minimal use: the odometer read 51,508 miles on 22 May 2023, then rose to 62,109 miles by April 2024, 65,086 miles by April 2025, and 69,061 miles by April 2026. A curious entry shows a failure and a pass both logged on 22 May 2023 at identical mileage with no defects cited, suggesting a clerical re-test rather than a mechanical defect. Prior owners evidently kept to scheduled testing and prevented wear items such as tyres or wipers from slipping to advisory status. Despite the unblemished MOT record, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related components that tests may not flag when within tolerance. The tester would check suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing caused by long stationary periods, given the low annual mileage. Examine brake discs and calipers for superficial corrosion and binding after the car stood unused for stretches. Structural integrity underneath the chassis and sills warrants close scrutiny for rust, particularly on a Volvo of this era exposed to UK winter salting. Verify exhaust emissions remain clean and inspect tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than tread wear. The documented history implies diligent keepers, yet in-person scrutiny of these mechanical and structural elements remains prudent before purchase.
