Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a high-mi
Given the 113,155 miles on the clock, the primary focus should be on the service history. Verify that the 2.0L diesel engine has had regular oil changes and check for documentation regarding timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical high-mileage maintenance items.
Pay close attention to the tyre condition and wheel alignment. The MOT history from 2023 and 2024 specifically highlighted inner tyre wear on several corners, suggesting a potential alignment issue that should have been addressed. Use this to negotiate if current tyres show uneven wear.
The 1969cc Euro 6 diesel engine is designed for efficiency over long distances and is compliant with UK clean air zones. However, fuel costs will be a significant factor given the vehicle's typical usage patterns.
Insurance will likely fall into a mid-to-high group due to the vehicle's size and executive positioning. Maintenance costs are expected to increase as the vehicle exceeds 110,000 miles, particularly regarding suspension components and brake wear.
Inspect the tyres, specifically the inner edges of the front and rear wheels, to ensure the alignment issues noted in the 2023 and 2024 MOT tests have been corrected. Check the registration plates to ensure they are clear and not deteriorated, as this was noted in the July 2025 test.
Check under the vehicle to ensure that the under-trays mentioned in the 2023 MOT are securely fitted and not obscuring components in a way that prevents inspection. Finally, check for any signs of diesel particulate filter (DPF) issues, which can occur in high-mileage Euro 6 diesels if used primarily for short trips.
This black 2018 Volvo V90 has covered 113,155 miles. It has a consistent record of MOT passes since 2022, with the most recent test in August 2026 recording no defects. While the mileage is high, the absence of major MOT failures is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age.
No aggregate data is available for the Volvo V90, but this specific example has maintained a consistent pass rate across five MOT tests.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: VOLVO V90
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- ERAD (Electric Rear Axle Drive) Coolant Ingress & Bearing Failure(Serious)
On T8 Twin Engine and Recharge models, internal coolant seal leaks in the rear electric motor housing can cause bearing failure and high-voltage electrical shorts.
- D4/D5 PowerPulse Compressed Air Hose Rupture(Moderate)
The PowerPulse air hose delivering compressed air into the turbocharger exhaust manifold can split, producing a hissing sound and sluggish low-end torque.
- Sunroof Drain Blockage & Passenger Footwell Water Ingress(Serious)
The rubber drain tubes for the panoramic sunroof can become blocked with dirt or dislodge, discharging rainwater directly into the front footwells and soaking wiring harnesses.
