2010 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · WR60 AFZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent mechanical trend that remains unaddressed. The most recent test in February 2026 at 178,517 miles again passed despite despite a recurring front oil leak. This specific fault has appeared on every MOT record since at least 2021, indicating that while the leak does not currently meet the threshold for a failure, the previous owners have opted not to rectify the underlying seal or gasket. The mileage pattern is consistent with a sixteen-year-old luxury SUV, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between October 2022 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 31,946 miles, showing a steady rate of use. There is a notable gap in records between the October 2022 and February 2024 tests, during which 12,092 miles were driven. The advisory for a worn nearside rear tyre in 2022 suggests a period where basic consumable maintenance was slightly neglected before being replaced. A physical inspection must prioritize the source of the chronic front oil leak to determine if it originates from the crank oil seal, valve cover gasket, or turbo oil feed. Given the high mileage and the age of the Volvo, the buyer should also inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these frequently fail on this model. While the MOT record shows no major structural corrosion or brake failures, the persistence of the oil leak necessitates a thorough check for fluid damage to surrounding rubber hoses and lower chassis components.
