2017 Volvo XC90 2.0L Diesel · YY67 AOB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance standards over time. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 94,926 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This transition from recorded faults in earlier years to a clean sheet recently suggests that the current owner is proactive in resolving issues identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a nine-old SUV, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. There is a significant increase in usage between August 2024 and September 2025, where the vehicle covered over 26,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation of mileage places higher demand on heavy-duty components such as the suspension assembly and braking system, yet the lack of advisories at the highest mileage test suggests the vehicle is handling the increased load without immediate failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the 2023 test at 53,281 miles flagged play in both the nearside and offside front track rod end ball joints. While these were rectified, the high-mileage nature of the XC90 means rubber bushings and coil springs should be checked for premature wear or cracking. Given the 2021 report of thin front brake pads, a thorough check of the remaining pad life and the condition of the discs is necessary to ensure the recent high-mileage stint has not accelerated wear on the braking system.
