2011 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · LS11 XWW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test conducted in November 2025 at 112,793 miles. This result followed several successful tests, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components currently meet the minimum legal standards. While a failure occurred in late 2024, the issues were limited to minor electricals that were rectified immediately, indicating no deeper mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 93,335 miles and the November 2025 test at 112,793 miles, the car covered 19,458 miles. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber components, seals, and braking systems on an older XC90. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the electrical system, as the 2024 failure highlighted multiple bulb issues including the nearside rear position lamp, rear fog lamp, and offside front headlamp. Given the age of the Volvo, checking the wiring looms and connectors for corrosion is prudent to prevent future recurring lighting failures. Although the MOT record shows no structural advisories, the high-mileage nature warrants a physical check of the suspension bushes and control arm bushings, as these are common points of wear on this model as they approach the 100,000-mile mark.
