2013 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · LK63 EUJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having achieved a pass in its most recent test in September 2025 at 90,848 miles. While it initially failed on that same day due to a poorly aligned nearside headlamp, the defect was a minor adjustment issue rather than a mechanical failure. The overall trend suggests an owner who is reactive to MOT requirements, as evidenced by the immediate rectification of lighting failures and light repairs noted in previous years. At 90,848 miles, this 13-year-old Volvo has covered a modest average of approximately 7,000 miles per year. This low mileage is consistent with typical usage for a large SUV and suggests less-than average on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. The intervals between tests are consistent, showing increments of roughly 3,000 to 6,000 miles annually, indicating the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting stationary for long periods which can cause seal degradation. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and braking system based on recurring observations. The records from 2022 and 2023 highlight multiple tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, the tester repeatedly flagged pitted and scored brake discs on both front and rear axles. While these were not considered immediate failures, they indicate the braking components are nearing the end of their service life. A physical inspection of the rotor and pad thickness is necessary to ensure no significant investment is required immediately after purchase.
