2003 Volvo XC90 2.4L Diesel · YT03 YYG

The vehicle currently holds a pass rating in the September 2026 test at 151,477 miles, which corresponds to a maintenance trend that is stable and improving. This conclusion is derived from the most recent test on June 20, 2023, where the tester flagged a nearside rear suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement, and an identical finding was noted for the offside rear suspension arm pin or bush. The absence of any other defects in the September 2023 record confirms that the most recent assessment was positive and that the condition has not deteriorated since then. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle is approximately 23 years old with a total of 151,477 miles, suggesting a reasonable accumulation rate typical of its age. However, the data shows significant gaps in the record, particularly from December 2020 to January 2022, where the tester passed the MOT without any defects. The most recent test in the 2023 test at 52,000 miles indicates that the vehicle has been maintained well within the 151,477-mile limit for the past 5 months, suggesting that the vehicle has not been driven excessively recently or that the maintenance schedule has been kept on a strict schedule. Given the specific faults recorded, particularly the nearside and offside rear suspension components and the offside parking brake inoperative condition, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person for structural integrity and mechanical wear. The nearside and offside rear suspension bush wear indicates that the suspension system is structurally sound but requires regular adjustment and inspection to prevent further degradation. Additionally, the offside parking brake inoperative condition suggests that the braking system is not fully functional, which could lead to a safety hazard if the vehicle is driven with the parking brake engaged. The buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes, brake discs, and steering rack inner joints, as these components are prone to corrosion and binding if not inspected regularly.
