2009 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · AD09 XDV

The 2009 Volvo XC90 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 June 2025 at 124,783 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five consecutive annual tests from 14 June 2021 to 4 June 2025, the vehicle passed every time with zero advisories or faults raised. This unbroken clean record indicates the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that satisfied DVSA examiners without recurring mechanical concerns. The mileage pattern aligns with typical use for a 17 year old vehicle. The XC90 covered 20,626 miles between the June 2021 test at 104,157 miles and the June 2025 test at 124,783 miles, an average of roughly 5,150 miles per year. That sits below the 7,340 miles per year lifetime average and shows no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps in testing. The DVSA history is sparse in faults but consistent in attendance, with no missed test windows. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and Volvo's known susceptibility to subframe rust in this era. The MOT record flags no suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc issues, yet these components degrade with time regardless of mileage. Check the D5 or petrol drivetrain for oil leaks and inspect the four wheel drive Haldex coupling for service history. The clean advisory sheet offers no warning signs of binding calipers or exhaust emissions failure. Previous owners clearly addressed consumables before each test. Verify service books against the 4,000 to 5,000 mile annual spread, as light use can conceal seized linkages or flat spotted tyres from standing.
