2013 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · D4 WBX

The 2013 Volvo XC90 presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 27 January 2026 at 142,215 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the maintenance trend is steady rather than worsening. Prior tests in January 2025, January 2024, January 2023 and December 2021 each passed with no faults logged, showing consistent annual compliance over a four-year span. The odometer advanced from 107,264 miles in December 2021 to 142,215 miles by January 2026, an accumulation of roughly 34,951 miles in just over four years. This equates to near 8,700 miles per year across that window, slightly below the vehicle's lifetime average of 10,940 miles per year for its age. A gap exists between the December 2021 and January 2023 records with no test logged for 2022, though the January 2023 pass at 119,038 miles implies the vehicle stayed in use. The clean sheet across all entries suggests previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs and brake disc wear given the car's 13-year age and 142,000-mile use. The MOT history flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet Volvo XC90 chassis legs and subframes commonly suffer hidden rust by this mileage. Verify the absence of binding calipers and check exhaust emissions against current limits during a cold start. Given the sparse but clean record, the prudent step is a pre-purchase mechanical appraisal focusing on drivetrain mounts and steering joints. The lack of advisories means no recurring fault pattern emerged, but test passes alone do not confirm component life remaining on a high-mileage SUV.
