2011 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · GL11 NPZ

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently non-roadworthy , with a clear trend of worsening maintenance issues. The most recent test on 2025-01-17 at 152,423 miles was a PASSED test, but this is insufficient to guarantee safety given the severe wear patterns observed in the previous two tests. The vehicle has been tested twice in the last 15 months, with the second test occurring on 2024-02-02 at 141,942 miles, indicating a rapid accumulation of wear and a lack of proper upkeep. The mileage pattern is heavily skewed by the two most recent failures. The 2025-01-15 test at 152,351 miles failed due to parking brake inefficiency, while the 2024-02-02 test at 141,942 miles failed due to brake disc wear and parking brake issues. This rapid escalation from 152,351 to 141,942 miles suggests that the vehicle has been driven in a way that accelerates wear, likely due to poor handling or frequent stops. The gap between these two tests is significant, and the failure on the 2024-02-02 date is particularly concerning as it confirms that the vehicle is in a state of severe mechanical degradation. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity, particularly the suspension and braking systems, which are the most critical components failing. The 2025-01-17 and 2024-02-02 tests both flagged brake disc wear, pitting, and scored discs, which are serious red flags for structural integrity. The 2024-02-02 test specifically noted parking brake inefficiency, a failure mode that can lead to brake failure if the pump fails. Furthermore, the 2024-02-02 test flagged offside tyre wear close to legal limits, indicating that the tyres have reached their physical limits and may require replacement. The 2023-02-08 test revealed a defective rear reflector, which is a structural hazard that could blind the driver if damaged.
