2018 Volvo XC90 2.0L Hybrid electric · EU68 KWE

The Volvo XC90 is currently roadworthy, with a stable maintenance trend over the past three MOT tests. The most recent test on 2025-09-17 confirmed a pass despite two advisories: the offside front brake disc showing signs of wear, pitting, or scoring, and all four tyres displaying minor damage, cracking, or perishing. These issues are consistent with normal wear and do not indicate a systemic problem, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained with attention to safety-critical components. The recorded mileage of 20,232 miles at age eight years reflects a low annual average of approximately 2,529 miles per year. This suggests the vehicle has seen limited use, which may contribute to reduced wear on mechanical components but could also mean longer periods of inactivity, potentially affecting tyre condition and brake system responsiveness. The MOT history shows consistent testing intervals with no major defects reported since 2021, and a clear progression of tyre wear from 2024 to 2025, indicating that the vehicle has been driven regularly enough to require tyre replacement but not subjected to heavy or sustained use. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the brake system, particularly the front brake discs and calipers, as the recurring mention of wear and scoring may signal uneven braking performance or require replacement soon. The condition of the tyres should also be verified in person, as cracking and perishing can compromise grip and safety, especially in wet conditions. Additionally, inspect the suspension components for signs of wear or sagging, as low mileage does not eliminate the possibility of age-related deterioration in bushings or coil springs. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and underbody areas, should be checked for corrosion, though no such defects were reported in the MOT history.
