2013 Volvo XC90 SE LUX D5 AWD Auto 2.4L Diesel · AF13 KJV

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent inspection. The test on 24 March 2026 at 164,960 miles showed no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. Following a single failure in early February 2024, the vehicle has passed two consecutive tests without advisories, suggesting that any mechanical issues identified at that time were rectified and that the current maintenance trend is holding steady. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-intensity usage for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,700 miles per year. Between December 2022 and March 2026, the vehicle covered 35,765 miles, showing a steady accumulation of roughly 9,000 miles annually recently. The gap between the February 2024 failure and the March 2024 pass indicates a period of rapid use followed by an immediate re-test. This high level of mileage puts significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which are common failure points on a heavy SUV like the XC90. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the heavy-duty suspension components and braking system, given the 164,000-mile mark. Check for wear on control arm bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often degrade under high mileage. While the MOT record is clean, the high mileage increases the likelihood of binding calipers or thinning brake discs. Additionally, inspect the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion, to ensure that no hidden rust has compromised the frame during these high-stress driving cycles.
