2011 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · YF61 BZK

The Volvo XC90 passed its most recent MOT on 19 February 2026 at 179,984 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status and a stable maintenance trend across the available history. The test one day earlier on 18 February 2026 at the same mileage returned a fail with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Every annual test from 11 March 2023 through to the latest pass shows clean results with zero advisories on suspension, brakes, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. The odometer advanced from 131,990 miles at the 11 March 2023 test to 147,837 miles on 7 March 2024, then 162,820 miles on 10 March 2025, and 179,984 miles by February 2026. That equates to roughly 15,000 to 17,000 miles per year, consistent with the vehicle's 11,999-mile annual average for a 15-year-old car. The record shows no gaps longer than twelve months and no sudden accumulation spikes; the sparse but clean history suggests routine annual presentation with no outstanding wear items flagged by testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the chassis and subframes for corrosion, as a Volvo of this age and near-180,000-mile use can hide structural rust not captured in a pass-with-no-defects test. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for fatigue or warping despite the absence of advisories. Given the high mileage, the drivetrain and automatic gearbox should be assessed for oil condition and shift quality, since MOT tests do not examine internal mechanical wear.
