VOLVO XC602015 · 2.4L Diesel

The 2015 Volvo XC60 with 72,000 miles demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, as the most recent MOT on 2025-12-16 recorded a pass with no defects. However, the prior test on 2025-12-15, also at 72,000 miles, resulted in a failure despite no recorded issues, suggesting potential administrative or procedural anomalies. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no defects, indicating reliable maintenance up to that point. The absence of structural, braking, or emissions failures in the last four years implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the recent failure warrants scrutiny. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging ~6,545 miles annually. The 2022-2023 period showed a minimal 2,688-mile increase, while 2023-2024 saw a 10,559-mile jump, reflecting variable usage. The 2024-2025 test interval recorded a 12,111-mile rise, exceeding the annual average but not unusually so. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, and the clean MOT history from 2022 to 2025 suggests consistent monitoring. The lack of recurring issues in suspension, steering, or exhaust systems further supports this assessment. A buyer should verify the cause of the 2025-12-15 failure, as unresolved underlying issues could affect reliability. Inspect suspension components, particularly bushings and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age. Check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion, as these can develop over time. Despite no recorded structural rust in MOTs, a thorough underbody inspection is advised to identify hidden corrosion. The absence of advisories on tyres or wiper blades implies routine replacements, but tread depth and condition should still be confirmed. Overall, the vehicle appears mechanically sound but requires a pre-purchase check to address the recent failure and confirm continued reliability.
