2006 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · H7 KRT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clear trend of improvement over the last three years. The most recent MOT conducted in September 2025 at 181,297 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety issues previously identified have likely been addressed. The transition from flagged faults to a clean sheet suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the current owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2025, the car covered 18,928 miles, which represents a steady usage rate of roughly 6,300 miles annually. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest long periods of neglect or standing-related corrosion. The regular annual intervals confirm the vehicle has remained in active use throughout its later life stages. A physical inspection should focus on the rear suspension and braking systems, as these areas showed recurring points of concern. The 2021 test at 155,444 miles flagged worn suspension arm bushes and deteriorated brake hoses, while the 2022 test noted pitted and scored brake discs on both axles. While these were resolved in subsequent tests, the buyer should verify that the rubber bushes remain free of cracking and check the brake lines for any signs of bulging or weeping. Given the high mileage and age, a thorough check of the structural integrity and the condition of the undertrays is also essential to ensure no hidden corrosion has compromised the vehicle's longevity.
