2022 Volvo XC60 Ultimate B5 Mhev AWD Auto 2.0L Hybrid electric · BUG 55Y

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on 12 January 2026. While the car passed the inspection, the record identifies specific wear on the rear braking system. The tester flagged thin rear brake pads and discs that are pitted and scored. This indicates that the braking components are reaching the end of their service life rather than representing a trend of escalating mechanical failure. At a recorded mileage of 33,829 miles, this four-year-old Volvo has averaged approximately 8,457 miles per year. This figure aligns with typical annual usage patterns for a premium SUV, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive high-mileage. The data set remains sparse due to the vehicle's relatively recent age, but the consistent mileage suggests a standard usage profile that likely minimizes undue strain on the suspension and drivetrain. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear braking assembly to ensure the reported wear has been addressed. The pitting on the brake discs noted in the January 2026 test suggests that replacement is imminent to maintain optimal stopping performance and safety. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for signs of brake seizing or corrosion on exposed components, as long periods of standing can sometimes cause calipers to stick despite low overall mileage.
