2006 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · FH55 RXG

The Volvo XC90 passed its most recent MOT on 7 October 2021 at 143,737 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend at that point. The prior test on 28 September 2021 failed at 143,635 miles, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Given the vehicle is now nearly five years beyond its last recorded test, the current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from this history alone. The recorded mileage shows only 102 miles accrued between the September 2021 failure and the October 2021 pass, with a total of 143,737 miles over roughly twenty years equating to about 7,187 miles per year. This is typical for the age. The sparse record shows no rapid accumulation or standing gaps across the documented period, but the absence of any MOT data after October 2021 means the vehicle has covered an unknown distance since and may have been laid up. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and full inspection before purchase. The clean October 2021 result gives no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, so no recurring fault trend is evident from the supplied data. The unexplained September 2021 failure with zero listed defects warrants verification of the original test documentation. Prior to any road use, a technician should assess underbody structural integrity, brake caliper operation, and exhaust emissions given the vehicle's age and the long lapse since statutory testing. The low annual mileage implies lighter consumable wear, but twenty years of age invites rubber perishing and latent corrosion unseen in the record.
