2018 Volvo XC90 2.0L Diesel · VE18 MXT

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT status following its most recent test on 8 May 2026 at 83,630 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, moving from a failed inspection in April 2025 to a clean pass in the latest record. This suggests that the previous mechanical and tyre-related defects were addressed. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,454 miles per year. The records show a steady increase from 52,206 miles in May 2023 to 83,630 miles in May 2026. This pattern indicates regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty driving. The 2025 inspection history highlights specific areas of wear that warrant a close physical inspection. The tester flagged structural tyre failures, specifically bulges on both the nearside front and offside front tyres, alongside a nail in the nearside rear tyre. While these were resolved, a buyer should check the current condition of all four tyres for uneven wear or sidewall damage. The nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint also showed play during that period. The May 2024 test noted thin rear brake pads at 61,251 miles. Although the most recent test shows no current defects, the history of suspension play and brake wear suggests the vehicle's consumables are subject to standard usage. A physical check of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and brake disc thickness is recommended to ensure no new issues have developed since the May 2026 pass.
