2010 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · YS59 CYV

The 2026‑01‑28 MOT at 138,351 miles confirms continued roadworthiness, with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend that has persisted since the 2023 test. The vehicle has passed every annual test from February 2023 through January 2026, each time meeting the required standards without any listed failures. Mileage accumulation averages 8,647 miles per year, matching the vehicle’s 16‑year age, and the interval between tests remains roughly twelve months, with the 2024‑01‑29 pair showing only a 7,115‑mile increase over eleven months and subsequent tests adding between 9,244 and 10,459 miles annually, demonstrating consistent usage without anomalous gaps. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, examining rear and front bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear or binding, and inspect the brake assembly for disc scoring, pad thickness and caliper binding, as these components commonly exhibit deterioration on high‑mileage Volvos. The chassis and bodywork merit close scrutiny for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and sills, while the exhaust system should be assessed for corrosion and emission compliance, ensuring that the documented clean record reflects genuine mechanical health rather than deferred maintenance.
