2007 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · LS07 FPY

The 2007 Volvo XC90 is currently roadworthy, with its most recent MOT on 2023-05-17 confirming a clean pass at 160,210 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past three years, with no defects recorded in the last three consecutive passes. This consistent compliance suggests the vehicle has been kept in reasonable condition, with no major mechanical or structural issues flagged during recent inspections. The mileage progression reflects a steady annual average of approximately 8,432 miles over 19 years, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in testing, and the mileage increases between MOTs are consistent with normal usage. The only anomaly is the failed test in March 2021, which occurred just 18 days after the previous pass and at nearly identical mileage. This suggests a minor issue—possibly related to tyre tread or a sensor fault—that was resolved before the next test. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on high-wear components. Pay close attention to the rear suspension, particularly the coil springs and bushes, which are common failure points on XC90s at this mileage. The front brakes and calipers should be checked for binding or uneven wear, and the exhaust system for corrosion, especially around the rear muffler and underbody sections. Tyre condition and tread depth should also be verified, as the 2021 failure may have been linked to this. Structural integrity, particularly in the rear wheel arches and underbody, should be assessed for rust, which can compromise safety and longevity.
