2009 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · 50 RMW

The vehicle failed its most recent MOT test on 2026-03-31, indicating significant issues that need addressing before it can be considered roadworthy. Since then, it passed on 2026-06-04 with only a minor advisory for insecure side steps, suggesting some improvements have been made but underlying structural and braking concerns remain unresolved. The mileage pattern shows a consistent annual average of approximately 10,955 miles over the past 17 years, which is typical for its age. Notably, there is a gap between the 2024-04-02 test at 169,661 miles and the 2025-03-28 test at 177,758 miles, with no further tests until the failed inspection in March 2026. This gap could indicate either infrequent use or delayed maintenance. A buyer should inspect the rear sub-frame for signs of fracture, as this was a critical failure point in the last test. Additionally, the rear exhaust system should be thoroughly examined for leaks, and the parking brakes should be tested for adequate effort and efficiency. Suspension components, particularly those related to the side steps, should also be checked for security and functionality, given the repeated advisory for insecure mounting.
