2016 Volvo S90 2.0L Diesel · D3 RVE

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently passing, as the most recent MOT on 2025-08-19 at 62,899 miles passed with only minor, non-severe defects. This indicates that the vehicle has maintained a stable maintenance trend without any catastrophic breakdowns, provided the owner adheres to basic upkeep. The recent test confirms that the rear brake disc is worn but not seriously weakened, and the offside rear tyre has a cut that does not reach the ply or cords, which are acceptable for a used Volvo S90. Regarding the mileage pattern, the data reveals a distinct gap between the 2025 and 2024 tests. The 2025 test occurred at 62,899 miles, whereas the 2024 test took place at 55,156 miles, a significant drop of approximately 7,743 miles. This gap suggests that the owner may have skipped basic tyre and wheel checks between the two dates, or the vehicle was driven less frequently in the intervening period. The rapid mileage accumulation between these two points raises questions about whether the owner prioritized long-distance driving or if the vehicle was simply maintained at a lower mileage threshold. In conclusion, while the vehicle currently passes, the history of the 2024 test indicates that the owner has not maintained the same level of care as the 2025 test. The recurring faults in the 2024 record, specifically the defective wiper blades and track rod ends, suggest that the owner has likely neglected routine inspections of these components. A buyer should be prepared to inspect the front windscreen wiper blades and track rod ends in person, as these defects are not covered under standard MOT pass standards and would likely require a full repair to restore the vehicle's safety.
