2022 Volvo XC90 Ultimate B5 Mhev AWD Auto 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · DD58 UNC

A recent dangerous tyre condition on the off‑side front wheel forced a failure on the 27 August 2026 MOT, but the issue was remedied before a re‑test the following day, resulting in a clean pass on 28 August 2026. This pattern shows that the car required immediate tyre work, yet no further defects have been recorded, indicating that the problem was addressed promptly and has not recurred in the latest test. With 39,974 miles logged since its 2022 registration, the vehicle averages just under 10,000 miles per year – a mileage rate that sits comfortably within normal usage for a premium SUV of this age. The MOT history shows no gaps, with annual testing in 2025 and two tests in 2026, suggesting the odometer reading is consistent with the recorded service intervals and does not point to unusually rapid wear on high‑mileage components. Prospective buyers should inspect the front tyres closely: look for any exposed ply, sidewall cracks, bulges or uneven tread wear that could indicate underlying damage. Verify that the tread depth on both front tyres exceeds the legal 1.6 mm limit and that the tyre pressure matches the manufacturer’s specification. During a test drive, monitor for vibration or a thumping sensation at higher speeds, which can reveal hidden tyre defects. Because the brake performance could not be assessed on the failed test, a thorough brake check is essential – feel for pedal firmness, listen for squeal or grinding, and note any pulsation under hard braking that might signal worn pads, warped discs or contaminated fluid. Finally, confirm that the suspension and steering feel solid, with no clunking over bumps or pulling to one side, as the vehicle’s moderate mileage and clean MOT record give no indication of suspension wear, but a tactile inspection will reveal any developing issues. A full pre‑purchase inspection covering tyre condition, brake efficiency and suspension integrity will provide the confidence needed to proceed with this Volvo XC90.
