2010 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · SY60 TYW

The Volvo XC90 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 143,242 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or failures appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime during this period. Annual mileage has tracked close to the class norm for a 2010 vehicle. The records show 107,592 miles in August 2021, rising to 115,906 by August 2022, 124,285 by August 2023, 133,255 by August 2024, and 143,242 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 9,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The clean sheet across all five entries suggests previous owners kept basic statutory upkeep current, though the absence of advisories means worn consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes were either within limits or renewed before each test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Sixteen years of service on a heavy SUV invites corrosion to subframes, sills, and suspension mounts even when the tester logged nothing. The Volvo's double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension will have cycled through considerable load; check anti-roll bar links, track rod ends, and coil springs for fatigue. Verify the condition of brake calipers and discs given the age, and confirm the timing belt and transmission servicing match the mileage. The MOT record shows discipline, but it is not a substitute for measuring component wear that remains beneath test thresholds.
