2007 Volvo XC90 SE LUX D5 AWD Auto 2.4L Heavy oil · AD56 WTK

This 2007 Volvo XC90 has a troubling MOT history that is light on detail but heavy on failures. Its most recent test, on 7 February 2022 at 187,094 miles, was a recorded failure – yet no specific defects are listed for that test or for any previous entry. While the pass on 21 November 2019 at 162,243 miles appears clean, it was preceded by two failures within a week (14 and 7 November 2019) at similar mileages, also with no defects noted. That pattern of multiple failures followed by a pass, then another failure after a long gap, strongly suggests recurring mechanical or electrical issues that may not have been fully resolved. The trend appears to be worsening. The 2022 failure, combined with the fact that there is no subsequent test on record (the car has sat for over four years without a valid MOT), points to a vehicle that either failed badly enough to be taken off the road or was abandoned. The mileage of 187,094 over 19 years works out to about 9,847 miles per year – roughly typical for age, neither unusually high nor low. That offers no clear signal of excessive wear or prolonged standing, so the risk here comes from the MOT pattern itself, not the mileage relative to age. Because the MOT records contain no defect descriptions, you cannot use them to pinpoint specific faults. This makes an in-person inspection critical.
