2009 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · LD59 MVO

The Volvo XC90 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 March 2025 at 146,206 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 12 March 2024 at 143,111 miles also passed clean. The only blemish is a failure on 1 February 2024 at 143,004 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or unrecorded minor issue rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories appear across the five entries, so the test history shows no worsening pattern. Mileage sits at 146,206 against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 8,600 miles per year and matching typical use for the age. The gap between the 21 December 2021 test at 135,844 miles and the 25 January 2023 test at 137,683 miles shows only 1,839 miles in just over a year, suggesting a period of light running or part-time storage. From January 2023 to March 2025 the car covered 8,523 miles, a normal annual rate. The record is sparse but clean, with no consumable wear or structural flags logged at any stage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle is seventeen years old and past 146,000 miles. The MOT data flags no corrosion or binding calipers, yet Volvo XC90 models of this era commonly develop subframe rust and worn front lower arms that a visual test may miss if not loaded. Given the February 2024 failure with no defects cited, verify the DVSA failure reason with the prior owner or test centre. Otherwise the history implies the previous keepers kept basic upkeep current, with no skipped tests or recurring mechanical neglect visible in the official record.
