2014 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · FP14 YSL

The vehicle currently holds a Pass rating, but the maintenance trend is clearly deteriorating rather than stable. The most recent test on 2025-07-07 was a Pass at 122,587 miles, yet this was preceded by a failure on 2024-06-19 at 111,679 miles, indicating a significant drop in performance that was not fully recovered until late 2023. This sequence of passing and failing demonstrates a lack of consistent upkeep, as the engine and steering systems failed repeatedly without addressing the underlying issues. The mileage accumulation pattern is uneven and inconsistent with typical usage. The car has accumulated over 100,000 miles since its 2014 registration, which is roughly 10,000 miles per year. While the initial 2025 test was successful, the subsequent failures at 111,679 and 96,939 miles suggest that the vehicle has been driven at speeds or conditions that are unsustainable for its age. The gap between the latest Pass and the two most recent Failures indicates that the vehicle has been maintained poorly, with no clear evidence of a consistent maintenance schedule or a lack of preventative care. Given the recurring failures in power steering, headlamp alignment, and windscreen wiper function, the vehicle presents a serious risk of mechanical failure. The buyer must inspect the suspension components, including bushings and coil springs, for rust or binding, as well as the brake discs and calipers for corrosion. The engine and drivetrain must also be checked for wear, and the exhaust system must be verified for emissions compliance. Prior to purchase, the buyer should verify that the vehicle has been serviced within the last 12 months to prevent future breakdowns and to assess the structural integrity of the chassis and bodywork.
