2018 Volvo S90 2.0L Diesel · DP67 AXU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward developing wear-and-tear defects. In the most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 101,046 miles, the car passed with several advisories regarding slight play in the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage and the offside front track rod end. These findings represent a departure from the clean records seen in previous years, suggesting that suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their service life due to age. The mileage pattern is consistent with high-frequency use, averaging approximately 12,600 miles per annum since registration. Between December 2023 (84,115 miles) and December 2025 (101,046 miles), the vehicle covered nearly 17,000 miles in two years. This steady accumulation explains the transition from a defect-free status in 2023 to the current mechanical observations. The data shows the vehicle has likely been used for long-distance commuting, which typically places consistent stress on the drivetrain and braking systems. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry, specifically checking for excessive movement in the track rod ends and anti-roll bar links as flagged in the 2025 report. The braking system requires close attention; the December 2024 test specifically noted pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs. Given the high mileage, these components may be nearing the point of requiring immediate replacement. Additionally, the tyres should be checked for structural integrity, as the previous test noted a cut on the offside rear and a nail in the nearside rear.
