2016 Volvo V90 2.0L Diesel · AX66 TFN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in the braking system condition. The most recent test in August 2025 at 119,652 miles identified thin front brake pads and pitted, scored front brake discs. This represents a progression from the November 2023 test at 103,481 miles, where the discs were already noted as worn. While the car passes its tests, the recurring flagging of brake components suggests the previous owner deferred preventative maintenance rather than performing replacements. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 14,000 miles driven between November 2022 and November 2023, and another 8,000 miles in the following nine months. This regular use suggests the vehicle was not sat for long periods, which explains the standard wear on consumable items and mechanical components without indicating any gaps in the service history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front braking assembly to ensure the pitting on the discs has not compromised their structural integrity. The 2022 advisory regarding a distorted nearside front road wheel should also be checked for vibrations or uneven tyre wear, as this was never explicitly cleared. Additionally, the light oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber recorded in 2021 should be inspected for active leaks, as shock absorbers often progress from misting to total failure once the seal is compromised.
