2008 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · AD57 EGZ

The Volvo XC90 passed its most recent MOT on 18 November 2024 at 150,870 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable at the point of the latest test, though the surrounding history shows a pattern of repeated presentation failures immediately followed by passes with no defects logged. Recorded mileage rose from 145,162 miles at the 24 October 2023 failure to 150,870 miles by the November 2024 pass, an accumulation of roughly 5,700 miles over thirteen months. That equates to about 5,300 miles per year, below the 8,382 annual average for an 18-year-old vehicle of this type. The DVSA entries are sparse, with three consecutive failures in late October and early November 2023 at 145,162, 145,185 and 145,193 miles, each showing no defects, then passes on 3 and 18 November 2024 also with clean sheets. The absence of any recorded advisories or defects across the entire supplied history prevents direct inference of wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs or structural corrosion. Failing three times within nine days in 2023 with zero defects noted suggests administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical fault, but the lack of tester commentary means previous owners gave no visible signal of ongoing consumable upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the XC90's underbody for structural rust, verify suspension arm condition and check brake caliper operation given the age and 150,870-mile total. The clean MOT record offers no evidence of neglected components, yet eighteen years of use on a heavy SUV demands hands-on verification of drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions before purchase.
