2014 Volvo XC90 3.2L Petrol · AJ63 GYP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT in September 2024. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a minor failure just one day prior to the pass indicates a reactive maintenance approach. At 118,455 miles, the car failed due to an inoperative engine management light and a defective offside rear fog lamp. The fact that these issues were rectified immediately to achieve a clean pass at 118,460 miles suggests the owner responds to legal testing requirements. At 118,460 miles over twelve years, the XC90 averages approximately 10,000 miles per annum. This aligns closely with typical national averages for a large SUV, suggesting consistent use. The mileage gap between the September 2023 test at 114,458 miles and the September 2024 test shows a steady accumulation of 4,000 miles. This regularity indicates the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should personally inspect the engine management system to ensure the reported MIL light fault in 2024 was a simple bulb failure rather than a recurring sensor or ECU issue. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these are common wear points on this chassis. The 2023 advisory regarding a nail in the tyre suggests basic rubber maintenance is performed, but the current tread depth and sidew condition should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the legal limit.
