2017 Volvo XC90 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · S33 LBB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the April 2026 test at 94,152 miles. The maintenance trend appears to be resolving after a period of minor consumable issues. While the March 2025 test initially failed due to front brake pads measuring less than 1.5mm, the subsequent pass with no defects indicates that the necessary repairs were carried out. This pattern suggests the previous owner attends to mechanical requirements when prompted by inspection failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,461 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 32,997 miles in March 2020 to the current 94,152 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage or evidence of long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate concerns regarding seized components or perished rubber seals often found in low-mileage vehicles that sit idle. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and wheel condition during a physical inspection. The March 2025 failure for thin front pads and the March 2022 advisory for thin rear pads highlight that the braking components are a recurring maintenance item. It would be prudent to check the remaining thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs for scoring or uneven wear. The 2021 record also flagged a distorted nearside front inner rim, so the wheel should be inspected for any signs of impact damage or lateral run-out. The April 2023 advisory regarding a front tyre worn on the edge suggests a potential alignment issue or uneven suspension loading. I recommend verifying the current tyre tread depth and checking the condition of the suspension bushes and control arms to ensure no underlying geometry faults persist. Aside from these consumable wear items, the recent clean MOT history suggests the vehicle's structural integrity and general mechanical condition remain sound.
