2010 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · DF10 HCK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on July 13, 2025, at 143,636 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the history shows a pattern of minor consumable and lighting failures, the lack of defects in the latest inspection suggests a proactive approach to maintaining basic roadworthiness standards. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between July 2021 at 107,333 miles and July 2025 at 143,636 miles, the car covered 36,303 miles, representing a steady annual usage pattern. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components in older heavy SUVs like the Volvo XC90. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the record shows a clear trend of component wear. The 2022 test noted pitted front brake discs, followed by advisories for worn rear discs in 2023. While these were passed subsequently, the recurring nature of these faults warrants checking for uneven pad wear or any significant thinning of the current rotors. Additionally, the 2023 advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn on the edge suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent further premature tyre degradation.
