2019 Volvo XC90 2.0L Petrol · SN68 PCO

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, but the recent history reveals a sharp decline in maintenance standards. While it passed the latest test on 3 June 2026 at 77,901 miles, this followed two significant failures within a single month. The trend indicates a worsening state of mechanical neglect, moving from a clean record in May 2025 to a series of critical failures involving brakes, suspension, and tyres in mid-2026. The mileage of 77,901 miles over seven years reflects a consistent average usage of approximately 11,000 miles per annum, which is typical for an SUV of this age. However, the data shows a rapid accumulation of 24,500 miles between November 2024 (53,169 miles) and May 2026 (77,709 miles). This surge in mileage, combined with the multiple failures recorded during the final period, suggests the vehicle was under heavy use without preventative attention until the most recent repairs. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the tester flagged the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint as excessively worn in May 2026, which only improved to slight play by June. The braking system requires close scrutiny; the record shows rear pads falling below the 1.5mm limit and discs being heavily pitted and lipped. The previously noted oil leak mentioned in May 2026 should also be monitored to ensure it has not developed into a more significant fault. The failure of all four tyres due to cuts reaching the cords in May 2026 indicates poor oversight of basic consumables. Any prospective buyer should verify that all four tyres have been replaced with high-quality units. Given that the vehicle was presented for test with muddy underbodies and obscuring components, a detailed visual inspection of the chassis is necessary to check for hidden corrosion or structural damage that was masked from the tester during the May failures.
