VOLVO XC402018 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on June 6 2026 at 88,000 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of reactive maintenance. While 2024 and 2025 saw several advis, the latest inspection indicates that the owner has addressed previous mechanical concerns to bring the car to a clean standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There is a significant increase in usage between the June 2024 test at 46,849 miles and the May 2025 test at 67,174 miles, representing over 20,000 miles in just eleven months. This surge in activity, followed by another 21,000 miles before the 2026 test, explains the accelerated wear observed on consumable components during those middle years. A buyer should focus on the braking system and suspension due to the history of recurring faults. The 2024 test flagged both front tyres as worn to the legal limit with edge wear, which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, the 2025 test identified thin rear brake pads and worn front brake discs. While the 2026 pass is clean, a physical inspection should verify that the pad wear is uniform across all calipers and that the high-mileage interval has not compromised the integrity of the coil springs or control arm bushings.
