2011 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · AJ60 MPV

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is currently poor , as the most recent MOT test in March 2026 failed the rear headlamp aim and position lamp checks, indicating a critical mechanical failure that has not been corrected. This recent failure, combined with the persistent defects recorded in the previous year, confirms that the maintenance trend is worsening rather than stable or improving. The failure in March 2026 is the definitive marker for the vehicle's current condition. The mileage accumulation reflects an unstable maintenance pattern relative to the vehicle's age of 15 years. The vehicle has accumulated approximately 134,416 miles since the last valid MOT, which is roughly equivalent to 8,961 miles per year. This rate of accumulation is inconsistent with typical usage patterns; it suggests that the owner has likely been absent for extended periods or has maintained the car with minimal effort, leading to rapid wear on critical components like brakes and tires. The data shows no significant gaps between the March 2026 test and the February 2025 test, indicating that the vehicle has not been serviced since the previous MOT failure, which is a major red flag for structural integrity. Given the recurring faults and the lack of corrective maintenance, the vehicle is advisory for purchase. The persistent pitting of brake discs, worn tyre edges, and failing components like the fog lamps and position lamps indicate that the mechanical system is not in a safe state for normal driving. A buyer must inspect the car in person to verify the condition of the suspension, brake discs, and wheel bearings, as well as to assess for structural rust or corrosion that could compromise the chassis. The lack of a valid MOT in March 2026 means the car cannot be legally driven, and the vehicle should be removed from circulation immediately.
