Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Volvo V90 C-Country + Owners

These checks follow this Volvo V90 C-Country +'s own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Volvo V90 C-Country +.

• the wipers and washers — “wipers blade defective”

  Run the wipers with the screen wet: they should clear it in one sweep without smearing or juddering. Top the washer bottle up and check both jets hit the screen.

• the windscreen — “windscreen damaged”

  Check the driver’s side of the screen within the swept area for chips and cracks; anything larger than 10mm in the driver’s central view is a fail. Most chips can be resin-repaired for far less than a new screen.
