2018 Volvo XC60 2.0L Petrol · AFM 1

A consistent record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recent history, with no defects or advisories recorded across the last five consecutive tests, including the most recent pass on 14 May 2026. While the 2021 test flagged an advisory for an oil leak and wearing rear tyres, these issues were not repeated in subsequent inspections, indicating that the components identified in that year have since been addressed or have reached a stable state of operation. The absence of structural corrosion, brake system issues, or emissions failures over the last four years suggests a stable mechanical profile regarding the primary components inspected during the annual testing cycle. The vehicle has covered 72,552 miles over its eight-year lifespan, which equates to an average annual usage of approximately 9,069 miles. This mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK driving patterns for a premium SUV of this age. From a mechanical standpoint, this level of usage suggests that while the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive high-speed motorway mileage, it has also not been stationary for long periods, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or fluid degradation. The wear on consumables such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain components should be commensurate with this moderate, steady rate of use. Given the specific advisory for an oil leak recorded in 2021, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the engine bay and undercarriage during a physical inspection. Although no leak was noted in the 2022 through 2026 tests, it is prudent to check for any signs of fresh weeping around the sump, rocker cover, or oil filter housing. During a test drive, listen for any irregular engine noises or observe the exhaust smoke colour to ensure that any previous seepage has not resulted in ongoing oil consumption or internal engine issues. The 2021 advisory regarding wearing rear tyres should also be considered, though the subsequent clean records suggest the tyres were likely replaced. On a test drive, check for any uneven tread wear or vibration through the chassis, which could indicate issues with rear axle alignment or suspension geometry. Pay particular attention to how the vehicle handles bumps and transitions; any knocks, clunks, or pulling to one side could indicate that the suspension components or bushings have reached the end of their service life, despite the lack of recent MOT advisories.
