2013 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · KR63 AAO

The 2025‑09‑30 MOT at 167,096 miles passed with no defects, confirming the vehicle is presently roadworthy and the maintenance trend appears stable, with no worsening issues since the previous test. The mileage has risen from 40,818 miles in 2016 to 167,096 miles in 2025, an average increase of about 12,854 miles per year, indicating continuous use without long standing periods; the annual tests from 2016 onward show a steady accumulation with no significant gaps, suggesting consistent usage and regular servicing. Recurring faults include repeated wear of the offside front suspension arm pin or bush (5.3.4 (a) (i)) noted in 2021, 2023 and earlier, pointing to potential suspension component fatigue that should be examined for play or cracking; the 2021 failure highlighted front brake pad thickness below 1.5 mm and a worn disc, meaning the braking system requires close inspection of pad wear and disc condition; steering rack free play was recorded in 2020 and 2021, approaching the maximum 13 mm limit, so the rack and associated joints merit scrutiny; the 2022 record also flagged a rear differential offside driveshaft seal leak, implying possible fluid loss that could affect drivetrain longevity. In person, the buyer should check for excessive movement in the front suspension bushes, verify steering wheel free play does not exceed the 13 mm threshold, measure front brake pad thickness and inspect the disc for scoring, examine the rear driveshaft seal for leaks, assess tyre tread and perishing, test parking brake efficiency, and look for any signs of structural rust or damage, especially around the suspension mounting points.
