2018 Volvo V90 2.0L Diesel · A1 VLC

The Volvo V90 presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the 27 February 2026 test, recorded at 144,795 miles, showing no defects. Every annual examination from 2022 through 2026 returned a pass with no advisories, indicating the previous keeper maintained the vehicle to a standard that satisfied DVSA testers consistently across its life. The mileage pattern sits high for an eight-year-old estate. The car covered roughly 18,100 miles per year, climbing from 56,503 miles at the January 2022 test to 81,899 by January 2023, then 109,953 in March 2024, 129,845 in March 2025, and 144,795 by February 2026. The gap between the January 2023 and March 2024 tests spans fourteen months rather than twelve, yet no failure or lapse appears. High annual use like this loads consumables and drivetrain parts harder than average. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the accumulated 144,795 miles. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural concerns, but testers recorded zero advisories at every stage, which means minor wear on tyres or wiper blades went unlogged rather than confirmed sound. Treat the clean history as evidence of regular testing compliance, not proof of component condition. At this mileage, expect imminent replacement of dampers, clutch or auto gearbox fluid service, and a thorough underbody check for early rust before committing to purchase.
