2013 Volvo XC90 SE D5 AWD Auto 2.4L Diesel · YR13 KJF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend following recent failures. The most recent MOT conducted on 30 August 2025 at 135,889 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. While the history shows two failures in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent passes without advisories suggest that the owner addressed identified issues effectively to keep the car operational. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,453 miles per year. There is a notable period of high usage between March 2023 (104,242 miles) and August 2024 (121,779 miles), where the car covered over 17,000 miles in just seventeen months. This acceleration in mileage likely correlates with the failure recorded in July 2024 at 120,811 miles, as components undergo more rapid stress under increased loads and distance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that likely contributed to the previous failures, although the specific mechanical reasons were not listed in the provided summary. Given the age and mileage of this XC90, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is essential, as these are common points of failure on heavy SUVs. The buyer should also look for binding calipers or uneven brake wear and inspect the structural integrity of the underbody to ensure no significant corrosion has begun to compromise the frame.
