2004 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · DN04 ABV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the MOT history shows a significant lapse in testing. The most recent test on 19 April 2022 at 231,710 miles passed with no recorded defects, suggesting the vehicle met minimum safety standards at that time. However, given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle is over four years overdue for its annual inspection. This gap represents a significant risk as the current state of mechanical components and structural integrity remains unverified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. Between the March 2020 test at 217,620 miles and the March 2021 test at 223,039 miles, the car covered 5,419 miles, followed by an additional 8,671 miles in the year leading to the April 2022 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than neglect, which typically places predictable wear on the heavy suspension and drivetrain components of an XC90. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody due to the high mileage and lack of recent data. At 231,710 miles, corrosion on structural mounting points and wish arms is a primary concern. The buyer should also check for worn suspension bushes and perished brake calipers, which frequently degrade at these distances. Since the vehicle has not been tested for four years, the condition of fluid leaks and the degradation of rubber hoses must also be verified manually before any purchase.
