2006 VOLVO XC902.4L Diesel

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent MOT test on 27 August 2025 at 158,427 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just two weeks prior at 158,383 miles. Given that no defects were listed for that specific failure entry, it suggests an administrative error or a minor presentation issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage profile is consistent with a twenty-year-old luxury SUV, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per annum. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the vehicle covered 11,472 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 3,800 miles annually. This lower-than-average annual accumulation typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mile counterparts. The lack of significant spikes in mileage indicates the car has not been subjected to heavy commercial or high-frequency duty cycles. While the MOT record is clean of recurring faults, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of common XC90 weak points that annual tests do not always capture. Focus on the structural integrity of the rear wheel arches and sills, where corrosion is common on vehicles of this age and model. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as the weight of the vehicle accelerates wear on these components over time. Additionally, check for brake fluid leaks or binding calipers to ensure the recent clean MOT pass reflects genuine health rather than deferred maintenance.
