2005 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · CU54 OEO

The Volvo XC90 presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 1 February 2024 at 163,120 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any test. Two earlier failures in January 2023 and February 2022 were logged at 154,783 and 145,800 miles respectively, yet both show no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than outstanding mechanical concerns. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,768 per year for a 21-year-old vehicle, confirmed by the recorded figures. The car covered 9,032 miles between the February 2022 pass and the February 2023 pass, then 8,207 miles to the 2024 test. No rapid accumulation or long standing gaps appear in the data. The clean record across five tests spanning two years suggests consistent basic upkeep, though the sparse entries limit deeper insight into consumable replacement cycles. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the underside, sills, and suspension mounting points given the vehicle's age and 163,120 miles. The MOT record shows no advisories on brake discs, coil springs, or suspension bushes, but worn components at this mileage often escape detection between annual tests. Verify the reason for the two zero-defect failures with the DVSA, as the absence of recorded faults is unusual for a failed test. Confirm service history for timing belt, transmission, and Haldex coupling on this XC90, since the MOT data alone cannot evidence drivetrain care.
