2014 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · FE14 GPJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 20 January 2026. Despite a failure recorded on 15 January 2026 at 135,388 miles, the car secured a pass five days later after only six miles of travel. This suggests a minor, non-structural defect that was quickly rectified rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The lack of advisories across the last three tests indicates the vehicle is currently maintained to a high standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old luxury SUV, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. Data shows a significant increase of 14,530 miles between January 2023 and January 2024, followed by 4,777 miles in the first half of 2024. The more recent 7,227 miles covered between November 2024 and January 2026 indicates regular, consistent use, which is generally beneficial for components like engine seals and brake assemblies to prevent seizing or dry rot associated with long periods of standing. While the MOT record is clean of recurring faults, a buyer must still inspect high-wear components common to this model at this mileage. Focus on the physical condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as the weight of the XC90 often stresses these parts. Given the mileage, verify the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear and check all rubber boots for signs of cracking, as the MOT only tests for functional failure rather than the remaining life of the drivetrain.
