2009 Volvo S80 2.0L Diesel · DE09 KFN

The Volvo S80 presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 11 September 2024 at 233,286 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four consecutive annual tests from August 2021 through September 2024 each passed cleanly. The maintenance trend is steady with no worsening faults, advisories, or repeated failures across the recorded period. At roughly 17 years old the car shows 233,286 miles, an average of about 13,700 miles per year, which is high for its age and points to sustained motorway or business use rather than occasional local running. Mileage moved from 222,573 in August 2021 to 228,507 in September 2023 and 233,286 in September 2024, a gentle annual climb of under 5,000 miles in the last two years. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with no gaps longer than thirteen months and no recorded consumable or structural issues. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the age and high mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm absence of wear beneath test thresholds. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions should be checked for deterioration invisible in a clean record. The previous owner clearly kept the car to a basic pass standard with no flagged neglect, yet the high mileage means drivetrain and steering components carry substantial life use. Verify service history and inspect for structural rust before purchase.
