2009 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · AJ59 FNF

The Volvo XC90 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 17 October 2025 at 155,229 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared its final test without defects after a failed attempt six days earlier at 155,177 miles, though the failure entry lists no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to this, the same pattern occurred in October 2024, with a fail on the 16th at 144,841 miles followed by a pass on the 22nd at 145,040 miles, again with no defects logged. The October 2023 pass at 137,050 miles was clean. Mileage has accumulated in a typical band for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,100 miles per year against the 155,229 recorded. Annual increments sit close to expectation: 7,989 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, then 10,189 miles to October 2025. No standing periods or abrupt accumulation spikes show in the data. The record is sparse on advisories, with every pass and fail carrying no defects or notes, which limits insight into consumable wear but indicates no flagged structural or emissions concerns across the three-year window. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition, as the MOT entries offer no visibility of wear in those areas. The repeated fail-with-no-defect entries in October 2024 and October 2025 warrant verification that both tests were correctly processed and that no suppressed advisory existed. Given the age and mileage, examine subframe and sill corrosion and check for any binding calipers or exhaust deterioration not captured by the DVSA log. Previous ownership appears to have kept the XC90 to a consistent use profile with no recorded neglect of tyres, wipers, or major components. The clean defect history across 137,050 to 155,229 miles implies basic upkeep was maintained, though the twin fail-pass clusters suggest the vendor may have presented the car without pre-checking test readiness.
