2016 Volvo XC90 R-Design D5 P-Pulse AWD A 2.0L Diesel · LA57 ESY

The Volvo XC90 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 22 November 2025 at 118,728 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, though the November 2025 sequence shows a failed test on 14 November at 118,483 miles with no defects listed, followed eight days later by a clean pass. That pattern suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a deterioration in condition, and the absence of advisories across all five tests indicates no escalating wear flagged by testers. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,873 against a ten-year life, which is typical for the age. The record moves from 71,160 miles in June 2022 to 89,348 by September 2023, then 104,131 in October 2024 and 118,483 in November 2025. The gaps are irregular rather than annual, with the 2022 to 2023 span covering fifteen months and the later tests roughly yearly. No rapid accumulation or long stationary periods are evident; the data is sparse but clean, with every presented test either passing or failing without recorded faults. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's mileage and AWD layout, as high-mileage Volvos of this era commonly develop worn rear trailing arm bushes and corroded subframe mounts not always caught in a pass with no advisories. The twin-turbo diesel drivetrain warrants a check for oil misting at the turbo feeds and evidence of DPF regeneration cycles. The November 2025 fail with no defects recorded demands clarification from the selling party, since DVLA systems log such entries for reasons like incorrect documentation or lighting faults rectified before the retest. Confirm the V5C and any garage paperwork for that week. Beyond that, the MOT history gives no signal of structural rust, exhaust emissions breaches, or binding calipers, so the vehicle's recorded care pattern implies consistent if not frequent statutory testing rather than deferred consumable replacement.
