2017 Volvo V90 2.0L Diesel · CU17 XCJ

The Volvo V90 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 66,569 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of examinations. Prior passes on 11 September 2024 at 58,347 miles and 19 September 2023 at 52,567 miles also showed no advisories or faults, indicating consistent upkeep across the ownership period. Mileage sits at a typical level for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,400 miles per year. The record shows 40,108 miles on 25 June 2022, then 52,565 miles by 18 September 2023, a near 12,500-mile jump in just over a year. A failed test on 18 September 2023 at 52,565 miles was followed by a pass the next day at 52,567 miles with no defects listed, suggesting the failure was administrative or a minor rectification rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse five-entry history carries no recurring wear items or structural concerns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age. The MOT data flags none of these, but Volvo estates of this era can develop rear subframe rust and worn drop links unseen in a pass-only record. Verify service history to confirm cambelt and transmission fluid intervals were met. The absence of advisories across four passes implies the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test. Treat the 2023 double entry as a paperwork anomaly, not a reliability warning. Pre-purchase checks should focus on tyre sidewall condition and coolant system integrity rather than outstanding MOT defects.
