2019 Volvo XC90 Inscript PRO T8 Phev A A 2.0L Hybrid electric · GL69 XJB

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently unacceptable , as the MOT record demonstrates a clear pattern of instability and recurring failure modes. The most recent test on 2025-12-30 at 38,885 miles failed on the offside windscreen wiper, indicating that the vehicle has not been tested for this component in the last six months. This is significant because the windscreen wiper is a critical part of the vehicle's safety system and should have been inspected before the car was even sold. The maintenance history reveals a stark contrast between the vehicle's age and its mileage, which suggests the owner has either been extremely diligent about routine checks or has been completely negligent. The vehicle has only been tested twice in the last 40 months, yet it has demonstrated a consistent pattern of failure across multiple components. The first failure at 38,885 miles occurred while the owner was still in the UK, and the second failure at 32,656 miles was recorded before the car was even sold. This gap between the first and second test indicates that the owner has not maintained the vehicle properly, likely by skipping critical inspections or failing to address the issues that led to the first failure. Given the recurring faults and the fact that the vehicle has been in the UK for over two years without a valid MOT, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify the specific mechanical risks. The most serious structural risk is the offside windscreen wiper, which is a critical safety component that should have been checked before the car was even sold. Furthermore, the history of suspension play and brake pad wear on the rear inner pad suggests that the suspension and braking systems are likely in poor condition. The buyer must also verify the integrity of the brake discs and ensure that the structural integrity of the chassis and body panels is not compromised by any corrosion or wear that has been recorded in the MOT records.
