2018 Volvo XC90 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · FH18 HZB

The Volvo XC90 presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 October 2025 at 77,705 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes dating back to 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the official DVSA history, which indicates the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime over the past four years. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,700 miles, typical for an eight-year-old vehicle of this class. The records show steady accumulation: 47,026 miles at the 30 June 2022 test, rising to 59,803 by 28 June 2023, then 68,153 on 13 February 2024, 71,582 on 8 October 2024, and 77,705 by October 2025. A short gap between the February and October 2024 tests reflects a changed testing cycle rather than a standing period. The clean sheet across all entries suggests previous owners kept consumables and structural items within tolerance without deferred upkeep. With no advisories logged for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the MOT data alone shows no recurring fault pattern requiring concern. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and subframe condition, as surface corrosion can develop outside the test window. Check the front and rear brake calipers for free movement and measure pad and disc wear against the stated mileages. Verify the service history independently to confirm fluid changes and timing belt intervals, since the MOT record does not capture routine maintenance. The absence of flagged defects implies disciplined ownership, but a pre-purchase mechanical appraisal remains prudent on any vehicle approaching 78,000 miles.
