2016 Volvo XC90 R-Design D5 AWD Auto 2.0L Heavy oil · SL10 MSL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean MOT record across the last five tests. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2025 at 131,468 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a high standard of mechanical upkeep. This consistency suggests the previous owners have proactively addressed minor wear and tear before they could escalate into failures during the DVSA testing process. The mileage pattern reflects a high-use profile, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year over the decade's life. Between the February 2020 test at 62,649 miles and the December 2025 test at 131,468 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 69,000 miles in five years. The accumulation has remained consistent, with roughly 14,000 miles recorded between each of the last three annual. This steady progression is typical of frequent motorway use, which often mitigates clutch wear but places significant stress on the drivetrain and AWD suspension system. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, an in-person inspection must focus on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear on a heavy SUV. The buyer should examine the front suspension bushes and control arms for signs of tearing, as these often degrade after 100,000 miles. Given the mileage, checking for oil leaks around the turbocharger and verifying the condition of the gearbox fluid is essential. Furthermore, the structural integrity of the chassis should be checked for any surface corrosion on the underbody to ensure the high mileage has not been compounded by neglected environmental protection.
