2007 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · MV07 AKG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2023-07-25 at 131,713 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. However, the same date also notes a failure with no defects listed, creating ambiguity in the record. Subsequent tests from 2021 and 2022 show consistent passes at lower mileages, with no critical issues reported. The absence of structural or mechanical failures in the recorded tests suggests a stable maintenance trend, though the lack of recent inspections (over three years since the last test) raises concerns about unverified condition. The vehicle’s mileage of 131,713 miles aligns with an average annual usage of ~6,932 miles, reflecting typical wear for its 19-year age. Tests between 2021 and 2023 show gradual mileage increases of ~6,000–8,000 miles per year, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity indicated. The MOT history is sparse in detail, with no specific component failures recorded, but the repeated passes suggest minimal immediate risks. The 2023 failure entry, however, lacks explanatory data, leaving uncertainty about potential unresolved issues. A buyer should prioritise a professional inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for wear, as consistent mileage implies regular use. Structural corrosion, especially in the underbody, warrants scrutiny given the vehicle’s age. While the MOT records show no critical faults, the absence of recent testing and the 2023 failure entry necessitate a thorough mechanical assessment before purchase.
