2006 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · WD04 SLD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The last recorded MOT test conducted on 19 October 2022 at 176,445 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just two miles prior. This suggests a minor adjustment or a consumable item was rectified immediately to secure the pass. Since that period, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without further mechanical or structural failures appearing in the testing history. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per annum. Between October 2020 and October 2021, the car covered 5,121 miles, followed by a higher 9,907 miles in the subsequent year leading up to the 2022 test. This indicates a steady rate of use rather than extreme fluctuations. However, given that the last MOT was performed nearly three and a half years ago, the vehicle is overdue for its annual safety test, which increases the risk of undetected wear on rubber components and fluids despite the previous clean record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas typical of high-mileage XC90s. While the history shows no recurring mechanical faults, the age and mileage demand a close check of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly on the rear subframe and areas where rust often accumulates. Because the vehicle has sat without a test since late 2022, verifying the condition of the brake discs and the state of the fluids is essential to ensure no significant degradation has occurred during the period of inactivity.
