2018 Volvo V90 2.0L Diesel · SF68 AAJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-10 at 140,576 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 also showed passes, though a failed test on 2024-11-05 at 134,671 miles was recorded without specific defects. This suggests the car has maintained compliance, but the abrupt failure without explanation raises questions about potential unresolved issues. The lack of recurring mechanical faults in the record implies no systemic deterioration, though the recent test’s proximity to the current date (2026-07-19) means limited data exists to confirm long-term reliability. The vehicle’s mileage of 140,576 miles over eight years equates to approximately 17,572 miles annually, exceeding average usage for its age. This high accumulation rate likely accelerates wear on consumables like tyres and brakes, though no such issues were flagged in the MOT history. Notably, the 2024-11-12 test at 134,674 miles and the 2023-11-09 test at 127,340 miles show a 7,334-mile gap, which could indicate periods of reduced use or incomplete record-keeping. The absence of corrosion, structural damage, or emission-related failures in the record is positive, but the sparse data limits confidence in the vehicle’s full maintenance trajectory. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the high mileage and potential for wear. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should also be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these are common issues in high-mileage vehicles. While no structural rust or emission failures were recorded, the lack of detailed defect reports in the 2024 failure entry means a physical inspection is critical to confirm the car’s integrity. The MOT history suggests no immediate risks, but the vehicle’s usage pattern warrants careful evaluation of its mechanical condition.
