2013 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · AF13 VKR

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT on 5 November 2025 at 138,272 miles with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, with consecutive passes and no advisories flagging wear. The solitary anomaly occurred on 30 October 2024 when the tester failed the car at 130,049 miles despite recording no defects; the owner secured a pass the next day at 130,057 miles, pointing to a resolved administrative or presentation issue rather than mechanical fault. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a 2013 registered XC90. The odometer advanced from 103,101 miles at the 20 October 2022 test to 118,242 miles on 26 October 2023, then to 130,057 miles by 31 October 2024, reaching 138,272 miles by November 2025. Annual increments average roughly 11,000 to 12,000 miles, marginally above the stated 10,636 miles per year mean. The record shows no prolonged gaps in testing; each autumn examination occurred within statutory windows, suggesting the previous keepers maintained continuous cover and routine inspection discipline. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of core mechanical assemblies given the mileage. Although the DVSA sheets list no advisories, components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers endure fatigue beyond 130,000 miles and may exhibit incipient wear not yet at failure threshold. Examine subframes and sills for corrosion, particularly around mounting points, as Volvo chassis of this era can suffer structural rust in harsh climates. Verify service history for timing belt and transmission fluid intervals. The absence of repeated tyre or wiper failures across the record implies basic consumable upkeep was not neglected, yet the unexplained fail with no defects warrants a query to the selling dealer for the VOSA failure reason.
