2009 Volvo V70 2.5L Diesel · CV59 HLE

The 2009 Volvo V70 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 115,844 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results from 2021 through 2025. Annual mileage has averaged close to 6,800 miles across the recorded period, consistent with typical use for a 17-year-old estate. The tester logged 97,138 miles on 19 August 2021, rising to 102,791 by 16 August 2022, 108,351 on 23 August 2023, 112,311 on 20 August 2024, and 115,844 on 11 August 2025. The record shows no gaps, no rapid accumulation, and no failed tests or advisories at any point. Given the absence of flagged defects, the history implies the previous keeper maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoided even minor consumable wear notices such as tyre tread or wiper blades. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounts, as the MOT sheet does not confirm these were physically examined beyond statutory scope. In person, verify brake disc thickness, suspension bushes, and coil springs for age-related fatigue not yet at failure threshold. The clean record supports confidence, but 115,844 miles on original Volvo components warrants a hands-on check of drivetrain and steering joints before purchase.
