2008 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · AF08 HSN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent clean pass record following a minor setback. The most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 174,629 miles passed with no defects recorded, mirroring the results of the previous two annual inspections. This indicates that whatever issues caused the failure in late 2023 have been addressed, and the vehicle has since maintained a high standard of compliance over the last eighteen months. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2025, the car covered 21,697 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 7,000 miles annually during that specific period. There are no signs of long periods of stagnation or erratic mileage spikes that typically lead to seized components or rapid degradation of rubber components. The regular testing intervals suggest an owner who adhered to a standard maintenance schedule, which is vital for a high-mileage luxury SUV of this era. A physical inspection should focus on the heavy-duty components typical of the XC90 at this mileage. While the MOT record is clean, the high odometer reading necessitates a close look at suspension bushes, coil springs, and wish arms, which often suffer significant wear on these chassis. The buyer should also check for brake caliper binding and excessive corrosion on the rear members, as the MOT only identifies significant structural decay. Given the failure in November 2023 at 160,300 miles, verifying that the repairs made at that time remain robust and have not recurred is a priority for any prospective buyer.
