2010 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · GV10 GYW

The vehicle remains roadworthy and has demonstrated a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test on October 24 2025 at 170,960 miles resulted in a pass, despite both the nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance compared to the previous four years of clean records recorded between 2021 and 2024. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,685 miles per annum. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the car covered 38,963 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 9,700 miles annually. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest long periods of inactivity, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of seals and mechanical components in a heavy SUV of this age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the edge wear noted in the October 2025 test suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes and ball joints. Given the high mileage of 170,960 miles, a thorough check of the exhaust system for corrosion and the chassis for rust is essential. While the MOT history shows no major structural failures, the high mileage on an older Volvo means that drivetrain components and rubber bushings are nearing the end of their typical lifespan.
