2010 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · AF60 XKH

The Volvo XC90 presents a stable roadworthiness profile as of the 12 June 2025 test at 105,900 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a clean pass. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults across the available history. A short-lived failure on 31 May 2024 at 97,602 miles carries no recorded defects, with a subsequent pass on 3 June 2024 at 97,607 miles, indicating the car was retested and cleared within days without any advisory or fault entry. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,600 miles per year against the vehicle's 2010 build, a typical use rate for a 16-year-old large SUV. The records move from 86,714 miles on 14 June 2022 to 90,926 miles on 17 May 2023, then 97,607 miles by June 2024 and 105,900 miles by June 2025. The gaps are consistent and show no abrupt accumulation. The sparse, clean test entries give little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work, though the lack of advisories across five years is unusual for a car of this age and warrants physical verification. A buyer should still inspect the XC90 in person for age-related corrosion on structural members, subframes, and brake lines, since MOT advisories for such items are absent yet common on 2010 models. Check the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition for hidden wear not captured by the pass results. The May 2024 failure with no defects logged suggests an administrative or emissions-check anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, but confirm the rear calipers are not binding and the exhaust emissions meet limits on a cold start. Given the clean record, focus the viewing on tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and underbody rust that a short test might miss. The previous owner appears to have kept basic upkeep current, with two passes in 2024 spaced three days apart pointing to prompt correction of whatever triggered the initial failure.
