2021 Volvo V90 Momentum B4 Mhev Auto 2.0L Electric diesel · YY21 SWX

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a failed MOT test on 12 June 2026 at 52,940 miles. The maintenance trend is worsening rapidly, moving from a clean pass in 2025 to multiple critical failures in the most recent inspection. The tester identified a fractured offside front coil spring alongside significant wear on both front tyres and thin front brake pads, indicating a sudden lapse in preventative maintenance over the last twelve months. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. The vehicle covered 6,086 miles between the June 2024 test at 26,458 miles and the May 2025 test at 32,544 miles. While the mileage accumulation is normal for a five-year-old Volvo, the interval between the 2026 failures suggests that the owner neglected deferred wear and tear items until they reached a point of failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the inner shoulder wear on both front tyres often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that may have stressed the failed coil spring. The fractured spring requires immediate replacement and a professional wheel alignment to prevent further tyre damage. Given that the rear brake pads were thin in 2024 and the front pads failed in 2026, the entire braking system should be evaluated for disc thickness and caliper condition to ensure consistent performance.
