2010 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · AF60 XMA

The 2010 Volvo XC90 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 July 2025 at 139,421 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 3 July 2023 at 118,762 miles, immediately followed by a pass at 118,764 miles the same day with no defects noted, indicating a clerical or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression is consistent with typical use for a 16-year-old vehicle. The record shows 109,357 miles at the 8 July 2022 test, rising to 118,764 miles by July 2023, 127,547 miles by July 2024, and 139,421 miles by July 2025. That equates to roughly 9,000 to 11,000 miles per year across the window, with no sudden accumulation or standing gaps. The clean advisory-free history across five entries suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, though the sparse defect data gives limited insight into underlying wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and 139,421-mile elapsed distance. Volvo XC90 chassis of this era are prone to subframe corrosion and worn anti-roll bar linkages that a pass with no advisories will not expose once components remain within tolerance. The same-day fail and pass in July 2023 warrants a check of the DVSA certificate detail to confirm no suppressed defect. Otherwise, the record implies disciplined annual testing but offers no evidence of proactive component renewal beyond statutory minimums.
