2018 Volvo V90 2.0L Petrol · WL68 HJC

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status with a maintenance trend that shows reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 55,333 miles passed with minor advisories related to tyre damage, indicating the mechanical systems remain functional. This follows a clean pass in November 2024, suggesting that once faults are identified, the owner tends to address them to bring the car back to test standards. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 21,390 miles and the 2025 test at 55,333 miles, the car covered roughly 34,000 miles, showing steady low use. This low-mileage profile typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can increase the risk of rubber-based parts like suspension bushings perishing if the vehicle has sat for long periods between annual inspections. A buyer should pay close attention to the wheel and braking assemblies based on the history of faults. The October 2023 failure at 42,356 miles revealed critically worn brake pads on the rear axle and a distorted offside front road wheel. While these were rectified for the subsequent pass, an inspection should check for uneven brake wear or vibrations at speed that might stem from the previous wheel distortion. The recurring mentions of tyre damage, from perishing in 2022 to cuts and nails in 2025, suggest a history of neglect regarding tyre condition, necessitating a thorough check of the current tread depth and sidewall integrity.
