2013 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · AF13 RVU

The Volvo XC90 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 5 February 2026 at 142,031 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle clearing its last three annual examinations without advisories. Prior to this clean run, the car failed on 10 January 2025 at 129,819 miles and again on 29 January 2024 at 123,034 miles, yet both failures carried no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,925 miles against the 13-year age, a typical use profile for a large family SUV. The records show consistent yearly progression: 123,035 miles in January 2024, 129,879 by January 2025, and 142,031 by February 2026. The gap between the January 2025 fail and the pass three days later added only 60 miles, confirming the defect-free failures were not distance-related. No long dormant periods or sudden accumulation spikes appear in the data. Given the absence of any advisories across the passing tests, the DVSA record alone reveals no outstanding suspension bushes, brake disc wear, corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for rust, given the vehicle's age and winter exposure risk. Verify the condition of consumables such as tyres and wiper blades that fall outside MOT failure thresholds. The repeated no-defect failures in early 2024 and 2025 suggest the previous owner used a testing centre that logged retries without fault detail, not a pattern of neglected repairs. The clean 2026 result supports a history of basic but sufficient upkeep for a high-mileage Volvo.
