2018 Volvo XC90 1.6L Petrol · EU18 AXR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 8 May 2025 at 41,594 miles with no defects recorded. The absence of advisories in the three most recent passing tests suggests the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without lingering mechanical concerns. The mileage pattern is unusually low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,199 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between May 2024 and May 2025, where the odometer rose from 21,837 to 41,594 miles. This indicates the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in a single year after a period of much lighter use. The MOT record is exceptionally clean, showing no recurring faults, structural corrosion, or suspension wear. The failures on 9 May 2024 and 7 May 2025 were resolved within 24 hours, which often indicates minor administrative errors or simple consumable replacements rather than deep mechanical failures. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade during periods of low usage or sudden increases in mileage. Check the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and verify that the tyres have not perished or developed flat spots. Given the recent spike in annual mileage, a review of the service history is necessary to ensure the oil and filters were changed to accommodate the increased load.
