2018 Volvo S90 2.0L Petrol · FX68 LFB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection history indicates a sharp decline in maintenance standards. While the car passed its previous three tests without defects, the failure in April 2026 at 44,533 miles revealed multiple critical failures across the braking system and tyres. Although it passed the test one mile later at 44,534 miles, the presence of worn discs, thin pads, and perished tyres suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to the vehicle's service schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. There is a consistent pattern of usage between 2023 and 2025, where the car covered roughly 14,000 miles over two years. However, the interval between the March 2025 test at 35,836 miles and the April 2026 test saw nearly 9,000 miles covered in just over thirteen months. This low annual mileage often indicates the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, which correlates with the cracking of rubber components and surface corrosion noted in the latest MOT report. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly and tyre condition. The tester flagged pitted and scored discs on both front and rear axles, which often results from moisture-induced corrosion due to low use. The front tyres were noted as perishing and cracking, indicating the rubber compound has aged out despite having some legal remaining tread depth. Additionally, the failure due to a child seat obstructing the adult belt inspection suggests the previous owner may have overlooked basic safety checks, which warrants a closer look at the interior components and fluid levels.
