Our Verdict
A solid consideration for those seeking a large diesel SUV with a consistent recent MOT record. The vehicle has shown no recorded defects in its last three annual tests, suggesting a period of stability.
When viewing this 2.4L diesel XC90, verify the service history to see how the 111,214 miles have been maintained, particularly regarding timing belts and water pumps which are critical for this engine size. Although the MOT history shows no defects since 2023, you should still check for any signs of oil leaks or suspension wear that may not have triggered an MOT advisory yet.
Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle; at 16 years old, rubber components and seals may be nearing the end of their natural lifespan regardless of the clean MOT record. Ensure the 4WD system is functioning correctly and check that all electronic features typical of this luxury trim are operational.
As a 2401cc diesel, this vehicle sits in a higher tax and insurance bracket compared to smaller SUVs. Fuel economy will be heavily dependent on driving style and load, but expect typical large-SUV consumption figures for a 2010 diesel engine.
Maintenance costs for a Volvo of this age can be higher than average due to the complexity of the components and the size of the parts required. Budget for regular servicing and potential heavy-duty component replacements. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,800-£2,400, depending on annual mileage and insurance profile.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. While the 2023, 2024, and 2025 MOTs recorded no defects, the 2022 failure indicates that issues can arise. Check the condition of the suspension bushings and exhaust system, as these are common areas for wear on heavy SUVs.
Given the mileage is over 111,000, inspect the turbocharger for any signs of play or oil weeping and ensure the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) is operating correctly, especially if the vehicle has been used for short urban trips.
This 2010 Volvo XC90, finished in Grey, has covered 111,214 miles since its registration in May 2010. The MOT history shows a pattern of passing tests without recorded defects from 2023 through to 2025. While it experienced a failure in July 2022, the subsequent three years of testing have been clean of recorded defects.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific model to provide a comparative benchmark.
