2017 VOLVO V902.0L DIESEL

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 at 86,526 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of recurring mechanical issues. While the car suffered from persistent suspension and tyre concerns in previous years, the lack of advisories in the latest test suggests that the owner has recently addressed the outstanding faults identified during earlier testing cycles. At 86,526 miles, the Volvo has averaged approximately 9,600 miles per year, which aligns perfectly with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with intervals of roughly 7,000 to 9,000 miles between annual tests from 2021 through 2025. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not been left sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber components and the prevention of corrosion in the braking system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the lower control arm ball joints were flagged with play in both 2023 and 2024. Although these were cleared in the August 2025 test, the recurring nature of the fault indicates a potential for premature wear in these components. The history of uneven tyre wear on the front axle in 2021 and 2024 also suggests that alignment issues may have existed in the past, which should be verified by checking the current set of tyres for irregular scrubbing patterns.
