2016 Volvo XC90 2.0L Diesel · CF65 ENT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a sharp decline in proactive maintenance. While the car passed its test on 1 June 2026 at 86,612 miles, it followed a significant failure just three weeks prior. The transition from a clean record between 2023 and 2025 to multiple mechanical defects in 2026 suggests that the current owner is only addressing faults once they trigger a failure rather than performing preventative servicing. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. Between March 2024 and March 2026, the car covered 12,107 miles, showing a steady rate of use. However, the rapid accumulation of 18 miles between the April 2026 failure and the June 2026 pass shows the vehicle was being driven immediately until the repairs were completed. The low overall mileage suggests the engine has seen moderate use, but does not offset the degradation of rubber and metal components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the tester flagged the nearside front ball joint as excessively worn in April 2026 and the offside front joint as having play in June. These recurring suspension issues, coupled with the previously recorded fractured nearside front road wheel noted in April, indicate potential impact damage or component neglect. The rear braking system also requires immediate attention; the pitting and scoring on both rear discs combined with thin pads indicate that the hardware is reaching the end of its functional life and likely requires full replacement to ensure consistent stopping performance.
