2016 Volvo XC90 2.0L Diesel · FH66 FWD

The 2016 Volvo XC90 presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass recorded at the most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 131,629 miles. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration across the available history, with every annual examination from October 2022 through October 2025 returning a pass and no advisories or defects logged. The vehicle has cleared each test without flagged wear to suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. Mileage sat at 82,656 on 14 October 2022, rose to 100,625 by 25 October 2023, then 113,729 on 4 November 2024, and reached 131,629 on 30 October 2025. This equates to roughly 13,000 to 18,000 miles added per year, a high but consistent accumulation for a ten-year-old vehicle. The DVSA data is sparse yet clean, showing only a duplicate entry on 14 October 2022 where the car failed and passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects recorded, likely an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the front and rear suspension arms, coil springs, and subframe mounts given the high annual mileage. The absence of advisories does not exempt the XC90 from consumable fatigue on brake calipers and discs at this distance. Examine the underbody for corrosion around chassis rails and check the D5 or T-series drivetrain for oil seepage at the sump and turbo lines. Previous keepers clearly kept the Volvo to a passable standard at each test, but no recorded advisories across four years suggests minimal interim servicing transparency. Verify the service book and inspect tyre sidewalls and wiper condition, as these items fall outside MOT defect capture until worn beyond limits.
