2016 Volvo XC90 2.0L Diesel · XU03 BER

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 19 June 2026 at 83,957 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed, resulting in two consecutive clean tests. This suggests that the current owner is likely proactive in resolving advisories rather than allowing faults to escalate into major failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per annum. Between November 2022 and June 2026, the car covered roughly 24,500 miles, showing a steady rate of use. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that suggest long periods of stationary storage, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion. The relatively low annual mileage generally mitigates premature wear on the drivetrain and heavy suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front and rear suspension assemblies. The June 2024 test specifically flagged play in the nearside front track rod end ball joint and a worn offside rear lower suspension arm bush. While these were cleared in subsequent tests, the recurring nature of suspension-related wear on a heavy SUV like the XC90 warrants a thorough check for further bushing fatigue or joint play. It is also prudent to verify that the exhaust system, which showed a leak in 2022, was fully rectified and that no structural corrosion has developed around the manifold or piping.
