2007 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · AD57 CFF

The Volvo XC90 passed its most recent MOT on 15 December 2025 at 163,861 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is acceptable. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern of clean passes once minor administrative failures were resolved. The vehicle failed twice without any recorded defects, first on 6 November 2024 at 156,910 miles and again on 11 December 2025 at 163,857 miles, before passing the following day in each case. These no-defect failures suggest paperwork or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. Recorded mileage rose from 139,639 at the October 2023 test to 156,910 by November 2024, then to 163,861 by December 2025. That equates to roughly 17,000 miles over two years, or about 8,600 miles per year, which sits in line with typical use for a 19-year-old vehicle. The history is sparse, with only three pass cycles and two zero-defect failures across the visible record. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear. A buyer should still inspect the XC90 in person for age-related wear not captured by a clean test. At 163,861 miles the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will have seen considerable duty. The lack of advisories means the tester found no immediate concerns, but Volvo XC90 models of this era commonly develop corrosion at structural mounting points and wear in the front lower arms. Check the underbody for rust at subframe and suspension brackets. Verify the handbrake mechanism and rear calipers for binding after the car has stood. Confirm the tyres and wiper blades meet tread and condition standards, as these consumables were not flagged but age naturally. The record implies the previous owner kept the vehicle to a basic pass standard rather than addressing latent wear.
