2004 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · CU54 OZR

The Volvo XC90 passed its most recent MOT on 24 November 2025 at 187,961 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is acceptable. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available data, with each annual test ultimately resulting in a pass and no advisories logged for worn tyres, corroded structures, or failing emissions. The vehicle shows no escalating mechanical faults in the record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,500 miles, typical for a 22-year-old vehicle. The record moves from 178,356 miles at the November 2023 pass to 183,189 miles by November 2024, then 187,961 miles by November 2025. That is steady accumulation of about 4,800 to 4,800 miles per year, with no gaps or sudden jumps suggesting neglect through disuse or harsh commercial duty. The DVSA data itself is sparse, showing clean sheets with no minor consumable wear or serious items flagged at any stage. The buyer should note the two failed tests on 20 November 2024 and 20 November 2025, both at 183,186 and 187,947 miles respectively, where the tester recorded no defects yet issued a fail. This pattern points to administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical condition, but the buyer must confirm the V5C, identification, and any recall clearance before purchase. Given the age and 187,961 miles, in-person checks should target front suspension bushes, coil spring fracture, subframe corrosion, and brake disc wear even though the MOT logged none. No structural integrity concerns or recurring brake, exhaust, or suspension advisories appear in the history. The previous owners kept the test outcomes clean, implying basic upkeep met legal minimums. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to verify hidden rust and drivetrain condition on this high-mileage XC90.
