2017 Volvo XC90 2.0L Hybrid electric · YY67 WKB

The Volvo XC90 presents a stable and largely reassuring maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 4 December 2025 at 87,257 miles was a pass, with only a minor advisory for an offside rear tyre worn close to legal limit and worn on edge. This single advisory suggests a minor alignment or inflation issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The preceding four tests from 2021 through 2024 were all clean passes with zero defects, indicating a consistent record of roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation is remarkably steady and typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. The recorded annual mileage of approximately 9,700 miles per year shows no sudden spikes or suspicious gaps in the MOT history. The 7,088 miles covered between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests confirm the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting idle. There are no mileage anomalies or missing test years that would raise concerns about odometer tampering or prolonged periods of neglect. The only recurring theme in the record is the offside rear tyre wear noted in the latest test. Edge wear on a single rear tyre often points to a minor wheel alignment deviation, a worn suspension bush, or a tracking issue on the rear axle. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension components, including the trailing arms, toe links, and any rubber bushings, for deterioration. The rear brake calipers and discs should also be checked for any signs of binding that could contribute to uneven tyre wear. Given the clean history otherwise, this appears to be a straightforward consumable and alignment matter rather than a structural or safety concern. Beyond the tyre advisory, the absence of any corrosion, exhaust, suspension, or braking defects across five consecutive tests is a strong indicator of careful ownership. A prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough underbody inspection for any fresh stone chips, surface rust on subframes, or weeping from shock absorbers, as these can develop between annual tests. The overall picture is one of a well-maintained vehicle with only a minor, easily addressed tyre wear issue at the most recent inspection.
