2010 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · WF10 MKC

Based on the DVSA MOT records, this 2010 Volvo XC90 presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 3 November 2025 at 140,210 miles resulted in a clean pass with zero defects recorded. This outcome follows a consistent pattern of defect-free passes stretching back to October 2022, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a solid standard across multiple annual tests with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage accumulation tells a straightforward story. Between the October 2022 test at 127,532 miles and the November 2025 test at 140,210 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 12,678 miles over three years, averaging around 4,226 miles per year during that window. Across its full sixteen-year lifespan, the total of 140,210 miles equates to roughly 8,763 miles per year, which sits comfortably within typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would suggest long periods of disuse or clocking anomalies. The annual increments between tests are steady and proportionate. One anomaly worth noting is the failed test on 4 November 2024 at 135,948 miles, recorded on the identical mileage as the subsequent pass on 5 November 2024. The failure entry itself lists no defects, which typically indicates the vehicle was pulled off the ramp for a retest the following day after a minor issue was rectified, or the initial failure was overturned. Either way, the immediate clean pass the next day confirms the matter was resolved without consequence. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. At sixteen years and 140,210 miles, the XC90's suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers deserve close scrutiny for age-related deterioration, even if no advisories have surfaced. The underbody and inner wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, particularly given the vehicle's age. Brake discs, pads, and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, and the exhaust system inspected for leaks or emissions deterioration. Tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners, plus the spare, should be verified. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but it cannot substitute for a hands-on assessment of these high-mileage mechanical components.
