2022 Volvo XC90 + B5 Mhev AWD Auto 2.0L Electric diesel · FT22 ABO

The latest MOT test conducted on 26 February 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects. Reviewing the history from March 2025, the vehicle demonstrates a stable and consistent maintenance trend, with no adverse findings or advisories noted in either consecutive inspection. This suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained and that its primary safety and structural components are currently in good working order. The absence of recurring issues indicates that the vehicle has not yet encountered the common mechanical failures or significant wear-and-tear issues typically seen in older or more heavily used premium SUVs. With a recorded mileage of 44,807 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 11,200 miles per annum. This usage profile is considered typical for a vehicle of this type and suggests a healthy balance of regular driving. This level of mileage is generally preferable to very low usage, as it helps prevent issues such as carbon buildup in the diesel particulate filter or moisture-related oil degradation, while also avoiding the accelerated wear on suspension components and drivetrain parts associated with high-mileage vehicles. The mileage is consistent with a vehicle that is used regularly for commuting or family transport without being subjected to excessive strain. As the MOT record is entirely clean, your physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation and preventative maintenance. You should carefully examine the tyres for any signs of sidewall perishing or cracking, which can occur due to age and environmental exposure regardless of tread depth. It is also important to inspect the brake discs for any significant corrosion or pitting, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for periods, and to listen for any signs of binding calipers or uneven braking during your test drive. Given the vehicle's premium nature, ensure that the service book is stamped to confirm that all manufacturer-specified intervals have been met, particularly regarding time-based fluid changes like brake fluid and coolant. Finally, pay close attention to the electrical and hybrid components. With a mild hybrid system, verifying the health of the 12V battery is essential, as electrical stability is crucial for modern vehicle management systems. During the test drive, listen for any subtle clunks or knocks from the suspension, which could indicate the early wear of bushes or coil springs, and ensure the all-wheel-drive system operates smoothly without any shuddering or hesitation. Checking the underside for any signs of fluid leaks from the engine or gearbox will also provide further reassurance regarding the vehicle's overall mechanical integrity.
