2015 Volvo XC90 2.0L Diesel · KW15 HWM

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the history indicates a recurring pattern of reactive consumable maintenance. The most recent test in December 2024 at 104,681 miles passed without defects but noted a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit on the outer edge. This mirrors a finding from November 2022 where all tyres were flagged for similar wear, suggesting the owner tends to defer tyre replacement until the inspection threshold. The mileage progression is consistent with a typical eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage with a 12,000-mile interval between November 2022 and December 2023, and another 13,600 miles between December 2023 and December 2024. This regular interval suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which is beneficial for the preservation of seals and rubber-based components. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry and alignment. In the March 2021 test, the tester identified minimal play in the offside front wheel and structural cuts on both front tyres. While these specific faults were cleared, the recurring outer-edge tyre wear across multiple years indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that remain unaddressed. Given the age and mileage, checking the condition of the control arms and the integrity of the bushings is essential to ensure no further mechanical fatigue is developing.
