2025 Volvo EX90 Ultra AWD Electricity · SL25 DMX

As of September 2026, this 2025 Volvo EX90 Ultra AWD does not yet hold any recorded MOT test history on the DVSA database, meaning the vehicle has not yet reached the three-year anniversary of its first registration that would ordinarily trigger its initial Class 4 roadworthiness examination under the current UK testing regime. Consequently, there is no pass or fail data, advisory record, or mileage progression against which to judge the car's maintenance trend. The absence of an MOT record for a vehicle of this age is therefore entirely normal and should not be interpreted as an indicator of neglect, evasion, or mechanical concern. Prospective buyers must instead rely on the Volvo main agent or specialist service history and a comprehensive independent pre-purchase inspection to substantiate the roadworthiness of this flagship electric SUV. Because the vehicle is only around one year old and the recorded mileage is unknown, no meaningful annual mileage comparison can be drawn against typical usage norms or against the manufacturer's service schedule. For a heavy premium-class electric SUV such as the EX90 Ultra AWD, buyers should nevertheless verify whether the mileage recorded aligns with the stated delivery date, and whether the vehicle has been used predominantly for short urban trips, longer motorway commutes, or a mixture of both, as each usage profile places different demands on the high-voltage battery, suspension, and tyre wear patterns. If the car has covered very low mileage in its first year, this can raise specific concerns regarding standing degradation of components, whereas very high mileage may accelerate wear on the four-wheel-drive system and brake components. It is therefore essential to establish the exact odometer reading, the in-service date, and any known period of inactivity before drawing further conclusions. Given the limited data, practical age-and-usage-appropriate checks are highly relevant. Although the vehicle is new enough that structural corrosion is unlikely, buyers should still examine the underside, suspension arms, and brake calipers for any standing-related binding or surface corrosion, particularly if the car has been stored outdoors or unused for extended periods. The 12V auxiliary battery, which supports the vehicle's onboard systems, should be tested for state of health, as low-mileage or irregularly driven EVs frequently suffer premature depletion of this battery. Tyres should be inspected closely for uneven shoulder wear suggestive of suspension geometry misalignment, for any sidewall perishing or ozone cracking from age, and for correct pressures, while the larger diameter wheels fitted to the Ultra specification warrant particular attention to kerbing damage. Brake discs and pads should be examined for corrosion pitting or seized caliper slides, which can occur on any vehicle that has been stationary or used lightly in wet conditions. Finally, attention should turn to the time-based servicing items that apply irrespective of mileage. The EX90's brake fluid should be replaced in line with Volvo's recommended intervals, typically every two years, as the hygroscopic fluid degrades with calendar age and loses effectiveness, especially on a heavy electric vehicle with regenerative braking. The high-voltage battery thermal management system, including coolant condition and hoses, should be inspected for leaks or staining, while the cabin filtration and air conditioning refrigerant should be verified as fully functional. A diagnostic scan using Volvo VIDA or an equivalent tool is strongly advised to identify any stored fault codes in the battery management system, driver assistance modules, or charging infrastructure that may not yet have illuminated a dashboard warning. Prospective buyers should also confirm the remaining manufacturer warranty coverage, the validity of any roadside assistance package, and that the high-voltage battery state of health certificate is available, as this will substantiate that the most valuable component of the vehicle has not been compromised by improper charging habits or prolonged storage.
