2011 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · LK11 APZ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 November 2025 with 154,978 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern, although the history reveals a recurring cycle of immediate failures followed by passes. In both November 2024 and November 2025, the vehicle failed the test just one to five miles before a successful pass. This suggests that minor rectifyable defects, such as bulbs, wipers, or minor adjustments, were addressed immediately upon failure rather than ignored. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,332 miles per annum. Between the May 2023 test at 149,864 miles and the November 2024 test at 153,042 miles, the vehicle covered 3,178 miles in 18 months. The subsequent interval between November 2024 and November 2025 saw 1,936 miles driven, indicating a drop in usage during that period. This consistent mileage reduces the risk of catastrophic mechanical wear but increases the likelihood of age-related issues such as perished rubber or fluid degradation. Because the MOT record shows no recorded advisories or structural defects, a buyer must focus on high-wear components common to high-mileage Volvo XC90s. A physical inspection of the front suspension bushes and coil springs is essential, as these often wear out without triggering an MOT failure. The buyer should also check for corrosion on the rear subframe and exhaust mounting, which the tester does not always flag. Given the high mileage, verifying the condition of the brake calipers and checking for oil leaks around the drivetrain is critical for long-term reliability.
