2006 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · CU06 NWT

The Volvo XC90 passed its most recent MOT on 19 April 2022 at 141,226 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the maintenance trend neither improving nor worsening but simply static on paper. That test is over four years old relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, so the vehicle has no verified roadworthiness evidence for the intervening period. A single clean pass provides no basis to claim ongoing mechanical stability. The recorded mileage of 141,226 at the 2022 test equates to roughly 7,061 miles per year across the vehicle's twenty-year life, a typical usage rate for a 2006 model. The DVSA history shows only that one entry, with no earlier tests supplied and no later ones logged. Such sparse data means we cannot chart accumulation or detect gaps, but the absence of any subsequent test suggests the car may have been off the road, sparsely used, or simply untaxed since spring 2022. A buyer must treat the 2022 pass as expired evidence rather than current condition. With no advisories logged on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion at that time, the record gives no flagged faults to track. However, a 20-year-old Volvo at this mileage demands in-person checks for front lower arm bushes, drivetrain wear in the AWD system, and underbody rust on chassis members. Given the four-year test gap, commission a fresh MOT and independent inspection before purchase. Previous keepers presented a clean sheet in 2022 but offered no maintenance trail beyond it, implying minimal documented care history for a high-mileage ageing 4x4.
