2017 Volvo XC90 2.0L Diesel · F4 NDO

The 2017 Volvo XC90 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with its most recent MOT on 15 January 2026 passing cleanly at 60,097 miles. The two preceding tests in January 2025 and February 2024 also passed without advisories, confirming a consistent period of defect-free operation. This clean run follows a corrective phase in late 2023, indicating that previous wear items have been addressed and the vehicle has since been maintained to a reasonable standard. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,677 miles per year. A notable gap exists between the February 2024 test at 47,838 miles and the January 2025 test at 53,836 miles, representing 5,998 miles covered in just under eleven months. The subsequent jump to 60,097 miles by January 2026 adds a further 6,261 miles over twelve months, confirming regular and sustained use rather than long periods of inactivity. No anomalous spikes or suspiciously low readings are present in the record. The 2023 MOT cycle reveals the only significant mechanical concerns on file. On 27 September 2023 at 46,974 miles, the vehicle failed with front brake pads worn to the wear indicator, rear brake pads wearing thin, and both front and rear brake discs flagged as worn, pitted, or scored. Both front tyres were also worn close to the legal limit. A retest two days later on 29 September 2023 passed, though the same brake disc and tyre advisories carried over, suggesting the immediate failure items were replaced while borderline disc and tyre wear was tolerated. A prospective buyer should inspect the current condition of the front brake discs and pads closely, verifying whether the pitted and scored discs noted in 2023 have since been replaced or remain in service. The nearside and offside front tyres should be examined for uneven wear patterns, particularly edge wear, which can indicate tracking or suspension geometry issues. Given the under-trays and engine covers noted as obscuring components in both the 2025 and 2026 tests, a physical underside inspection is advisable to check for corrosion, fluid leaks, or deteriorating suspension bushes and dust covers that the MOT tester could not fully assess.
