Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prospective buyers should prioritise a detailed inspection of the braking system. The 2024 MOT failure for 'excessively deteriorated' and 'twisted' brake hoses is a significant indicator of aging rubber components that may require further attention. Ensure that the service history confirms the replacement of the timing belt and water pump, as these are critical maintenance items for the 2.4L diesel engine.
Given the recurring tyre and brake disc issues noted in the 2026 and 2024 records, use these as negotiation points. The July 2026 pass was accompanied by advisories for worn, pitted, or scored brake discs and tyres close to the legal limit, meaning these parts will likely require immediate replacement shortly after purchase.
The 2.4L diesel engine is suited for long-distance driving, but as a large SUV, it will incur higher road tax and insurance premiums. Maintenance costs are typically higher for this model due to the size and cost of replacement tyres and brake components.
Annual costs will be influenced by the vehicle's age and mileage, with a higher likelihood of wear-and-tear repairs. Expect fuel economy to be modest, reflecting the weight of the XC90 chassis and the age of the powertrain.
Carefully inspect the tyres and front brake discs; the July 2026 MOT specifically noted discs that were worn, pitted, or scored, and tyres that were close to the legal limit. Check all exterior lighting, including the side repeaters and registration plate lamps, as these have been recurring points of failure in 2026 and 2024.
Examine the brake hoses for any signs of cracking or twisting, referencing the failures recorded in August 2024. Additionally, check the parking brake efficiency, as this is a known common failure point for the XC90 model according to aggregate data, even though it is not explicitly listed in this vehicle's recent history.
This 2011 black Volvo XC90 has covered 155,687 miles, which is above the average for its age. The MOT history reveals a pattern of failures related to tyre wear, brake components, and various lighting faults. Although it passed its most recent test in July 2026, the record includes several advisories regarding the condition of the brake discs and tyres.
The XC90 maintains a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.2%, though it is frequently flagged for headlamp and parking brake issues.
