2023 Volvo XC90 + B5 Mhev AWD Auto 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · ME20 FLY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passed MOT test on 17 June 2026. While the car met the minimum legal requirements, the record shows a concerning trend of reactive maintenance. The tester flagged thin brake pads on both the front and rear axles, indicating that the braking system is nearing a point of failure. This suggests the previous owner was waiting for component exhaustion rather than performing proactive preventative servicing. At 39,775 miles after three years, this XC90 has covered an average of approximately 13,258 miles per year. This sits considerably above the national average for a luxury SUV of this age, placing significant demand on the MHEV drivetrain and the heavy-duty suspension components. The data is relatively sparse due to the vehicle's age, but the rapid mileage accumulation suggests the car has seen consistent motorway use which typically accelerates the wear of consumables and rubber bushings. A prospective buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the thin pads have not caused scoring or excessive heat damage to the brake discs. The damaged windscreen noted in the June test should be checked for chips that may propagate into the driver's field of vision under thermal stress. Because child seats obstructed a full inspection of the adult seat belts, the buyer should manually verify the integrity and tension of the webbing to ensure there is no hidden fraying or mechanical failure that the tester missed.
