2018 Volvo XC90 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · EA60 AAA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on January 27, 2026, 123,156 miles. While the current status is pass, the history reveals a recurring pattern of immediate failure followed by a retest. In both 2025 and 2026, the vehicle failed the test just days or weeks before a successful retest. This suggests that the owner follows a reactive maintenance strategy, addressing specific defects only when prompted by the DVSA testing process rather than performing preventative mechanical upkeep. The mileage profile indicates high usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging over 15,000 miles per annum. A significant surge of 28,140 miles occurred between the May 2024 test at 94,567 miles and the June 2025 test at 122,707 miles. Another 449 miles were covered in the month leading up to the January 2026 test. This rapid accumulation places considerable stress on heavy-duty components, particularly the suspension geometry, braking system, and drivetrain assemblies, which are prone to accelerated wear at these mileage intervals. Because the records show failures without specific defect descriptions in this summary, a physical inspection must focus on high-wear areas typical of large luxury SUVs. A buyer should scrutinize the condition of suspension bushes and control arm ball, which often degrade on the XC90. Given the mileage, the brake discs should be checked for thinning and the calipers for binding pistons. The structural integrity of the chassis must also be verified for corrosion to ensure the high-mileage usage has not led to undetected environmental degradation.
