2008 Volvo XC70 2.4L Diesel · AM08 KZJ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-05-20, indicating it is currently roadworthy. However, the maintenance trend shows some recurring issues, particularly with the front upper anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover, which has been noted in three out of the four tests since 2022. Additionally, there have been concerns with brake discs and a registration plate lamp, suggesting areas requiring attention. The vehicle's mileage of 123,389 miles over approximately 18 years translates to around 6,855 miles per year, which is within a typical range for its age. Notably, there is a significant gap between the 2024-06-04 test at 113,423 miles and the 2025-05-09 test at 118,651 miles, with no MOT record for the intervening period. This gap could indicate either infrequent testing or a period of reduced use, but it leaves a window where the vehicle's condition might have changed without verification. Buyers should inspect the front upper anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover closely, as its severe deterioration has been a recurring issue. Attention should also be given to the brake discs, especially the nearside front brake disc, which has shown signs of wear. Checking for any further corrosion, particularly in the rear underside of the vehicle, is advisable, as surface corrosion was noted in the most recent test. Additionally, the registration plate lamp should be tested for functionality. These areas highlight potential maintenance needs that could impact the vehicle's longevity and reliability.
