2021 Volvo XC90 R-Design T8 Rcharge AWD A 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · RA21 YRL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a clean history to developing wear in front-end components. While the car maintained a perfect record through 2024 and 2025, the June 2026 test at 40,050 miles revealed multiple advisories regarding wear. This trend suggests that while the vehicle was structurally sound, it is now entering a phase requiring preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-use cycles, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year over its five-year life. The jump from 14,567 miles in August 2024 to 26,059 miles in July 2025 shows steady annual use. However, the accumulation of 14,000 miles between the July 2025 and June 2026 tests explains the sudden appearance of wear issues on the front tyres and the degradation of the suspension arm bushes noted in the latest report. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The 2026 test flagged both the offside and nearside front lower suspension arm bushes as worn. Although these did not yet result in excessive movement, they represent the beginning of component fatigue that can lead to steering instability or uneven tyre wear if ignored. The fact that both front tyres were nearing the legal limit and showing wear on the edges suggests a potential alignment issue or specific driving habits that have accelerated rubber degradation. Immediate attention is required for the front tyres, as they are at the threshold of failure. Given the age of the vehicle and the recorded mileage, the buyer should also check for any signs of fluid leaks from the shock absorbers and verify the condition of the hybrid-specific braking system. While the history shows a well-maintained vehicle up until recently, the recent advisories signal that the car now requires a service to address standard mechanical wear and tear.
