2012 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · AF12 YBR

The 2012 Volvo XC90 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 16 August 2025 at 142,503 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Four consecutive annual passes from July 2022 through August 2025 show no advisories, no failures, and no recurring mechanical faults. The vehicle has cleared every examination without flagged wear to suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 123,783 miles on 18 July 2022, rising to 131,638 by 22 July 2023, then 136,365 on 16 August 2024, and 142,503 at the final test. That equates to roughly 6,000 to 6,700 miles per year across the documented period, below the 10,179-mile annual average implied by the total. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the clean history suggests consistent, moderate use and routine test compliance by prior keepers. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Four passes with zero advisories mean the DVSA tester found nothing requiring attention, but MOT checks do not strip components or measure remaining service life on consumables. At 142,503 miles the XC90 will be due for age-related checks on coil springs, anti-roll bar bushes, and caliper operation that a road test can properly assess. Previous owners kept the Volvo to a fault-free test standard, which points to basic upkeep rather than neglect. The absence of corrosion or brake defects in the data is a positive signal for structural condition. Verify service history and inspect underneath for any hidden rust before purchase, as the MOT record alone cannot confirm long-term mechanical longevity.
