2019 Volvo V90 R-Design + T8 Phev AWD A 2.0L Hybrid electric · X7 ANC

This Volvo V90 T8 PHEV presents a clean and stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 18 November 2025 at 54,845 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This marks four consecutive flawless annual tests, indicating a resolving or consistently well-maintained condition with no recurring mechanical or structural advisories. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a seven-year-old vehicle. Between the November 2022 test at 26,923 miles and the November 2025 test at 54,845 miles, the car covered approximately 27,922 miles over three years, averaging roughly 9,300 miles annually. This is slightly above the 7,835 miles per year overall average since new, suggesting the current or most recent owner is using the vehicle regularly for longer commutes or motorway driving. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or rapid spikes that would indicate a period of disuse or a rolled-back odometer. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a plug-in hybrid of this age. The T8 powertrain combines a petrol engine with an electric motor, so the buyer should verify the high-voltage battery's state of health and charging behaviour, as degradation is not assessed during a standard MOT. The air suspension system, common on R-Design Plus trims, should be cycled through its ride height settings to check for slow leaks or compressor strain. Inspect the underside for corrosion on the subframes and suspension mounting points, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in coastal or road-salt-heavy regions. The brake discs and pads warrant close scrutiny. The regenerative braking system in PHEVs often leads to the friction brakes being used less frequently, which can cause surface rust and uneven disc wear that a simple pass cannot reveal. Tyre condition should be checked for inner-edge wear, a common issue on heavy all-wheel-drive estates. Finally, test the electronic parking brake and the four-wheel-drive system on a loose surface to ensure the rear differential engages and disengages smoothly without clunks or warning lights.
