2009 Volvo S80 2.4L Diesel · AF09 UYY

The Volvo S80 passed its most recent MOT on 7 November 2025 at 131,809 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the latest clean pass following two consecutive years of failed-then-passed sequences that also closed with no recorded defects. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five most recent tests. Mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a 2009 vehicle, rising from 116,544 miles at the November 2023 test to 123,823 miles in November 2024 and 131,809 miles by November 2025, an average of roughly 7,600 miles per year. A notable anomaly sits in the November 2024 records: the failed test on 8 November shows 129,719 miles, yet the passed retest three days later on 11 November records only 123,823 miles. This reversal of 5,896 miles between tests is inconsistent with normal use and suggests a data recording error at one of those entries rather than genuine mileage reduction. The repeated fail-pass pattern in both November 2024 and November 2025, with no defects listed on either the failure or pass certificates, points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than unresolved wear. Because the DVSA record flags nothing on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across the timeline, the history gives no evidence of worsening mechanical risk. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of common Volvo S80 age-related items not captured by a clean MOT: front subframe corrosion, rear suspension arm bushes, and brake caliper condition. The absent advisories do not exempt the car from 17 years of consumable degradation, and the conflicting 2024 mileage entries warrant verification of the odometer and V5C before purchase.
