2010 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · OV60 YCE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of developing wear in the suspension and braking systems. The most recent test in April 2026 at 182,449 miles passed despite advisories for oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber and an inoperative rear plate lamp. This represents a progression from the 2025 failure where an offside front suspension arm bush was identified, suggesting that suspension components are now reaching their service limit. At 182,449 miles over sixteen years, the XC90 has averaged approximately 11,400 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a large family SUV. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between the April 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 12,800 miles recorded before the April 2026 inspection. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not been sitting stationary, which often helps prevent internal component degradation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, specifically checking the condition of the offside arm bushes flagged in 2025 and the leaking shock absorber noted in 2026. The history also shows pitted rear brake discs from 2024 and corrosion on rear suspension components, which requires a close look at structural integrity to ensure the rust has not progressed beyond the surface level. The 2024 advisory regarding excessive exhaust smoke also warrants a check of the engine for oil consumption or combustion issues as the mileage continues to climb.
