Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the high mil
Given that the last MOT was recorded in late 2021 at 181,445 miles, your first priority must be to verify the current MOT status and mileage. If the vehicle has not been tested recently, do not assume it is roadworthy. Request a full service history to see if the high mileage has been met with consistent maintenance, particularly regarding the diesel engine and drivetrain.
When negotiating, consider the age and mileage; a 20-year-old vehicle with nearly 200,000 miles will likely require upcoming investment in wear-and-tear items. Check for any evidence of recent work on the braking system or lighting, as these are common failure points for this model according to aggregate data.
As a large 2.4L diesel SUV, running costs will be higher than average. Expect significant fuel consumption, especially in urban environments, and a higher insurance group typical for a premium Volvo SUV.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage can be unpredictable. While diesel engines can be robust, parts for older luxury SUVs can be expensive. Budget for higher-than-average annual maintenance to account for the age of the components and the high mileage recorded.
You should pay close attention to the braking system. Aggregate data for this model shows that parking brake efficiency and inoperative parking brakes are top reasons for MOT failures. Ensure the handbrake holds firmly and the electronic parking brake (if fitted) operates smoothly.
Additionally, inspect all lighting components, including headlamps, as this is another frequent failure point for the XC90. Given the 2401cc engine size, listen for any unusual diesel engine knocks or smoke from the exhaust, and check the suspension for signs of heavy wear consistent with 181,445 miles of use.
This 2006 Volvo XC90 is a high-mileage example, having covered 181,445 miles as of its last recorded MOT in November 2021. Given its age and the fact that the last recorded test was five years ago, the vehicle's current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from the available data. The 2401cc diesel engine is a heavy-duty unit, but the vehicle's value proposition is heavily dependent on its current mechanical state and recent service intervals.
Aggregate data from over 67,000 vehicles indicates an 80.2% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to parking brakes and headlamps.
