2016 Volvo XC90 2.0L Diesel · RX16 YCL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the car passed its March 2026 test at 114,347 miles, it followed a failure just three days prior for multiple safety-critical issues. The record shows thin rear brake pads, a defective electronic parking brake, and both front tyres being below the legal tread depth limit. This suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 114,347 miles, the XC90 has averaged approximately 11,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a ten-year-old SUV. The mileage accumulation is consistent across the records, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 12,400 miles covered in the final year. This steady usage indicates the vehicle is driven regularly, which places expected wear on heavy-duty components like the suspension and braking systems. A buyer must specifically scrutinize the electronic parking brake system, as it was flagged as defective in the most recent test despite being functional enough to pass. The recurring presence of fuel around the filler neck pipes noted in 2025 requires a thorough inspection of the fuel lines and seals to ensure there is no persistent leak. Furthermore, the 2024 report of a damaged front engine mounting and worn brake discs indicates that the vehicle's major components are reaching the end of their service life. A physical check of the suspension bushes and bushings is necessary to determine if the high mileage has caused significant structural wear beyond the recorded faults.
