2010 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · KP10 MME

The vehicle presents a stable profile of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean pass record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 179,522 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This consistency suggests the previous owners maintained the vehicle well enough to avoid the accumulation of mechanical faults often seen on heavy SUVs of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a sixteen-year vehicle, averaging approximately 11,220 miles per annum. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered 21,121 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than erratic periods of neglect or excessive strain. The 1,507-mile interval between the April 2025 and March 2026 tests shows the car remains used regularly, which helps prevent the degradation of seals and brake system-related issues associated with long periods of standing. Despite the clean MOT history, the high total mileage necessitates a thorough in-person inspection focusing on high-wear components common to the XC90. A buyer should specifically examine the front suspension for worn coil springs and control arm bushes, as these frequently fatigue after 150,000 miles. The chassis should also be inspected for corrosion on the rear subframe and mounting points, as the MOT only identifies structural rust once it reaches a point of failure. Given the age, checking for fluid leaks around the engine and power steering is equally vital as the test does not account for slow oil leaks.
