2017 VOLVO XC602.0L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is in question, as the most recent MOT test on 18 June 2026 was conducted at 87,369 miles and passed, but the previous record from 17 July 2025 indicates a failure at 87,368 miles with a critical defect in the offside front tyre. This suggests the vehicle has experienced a significant drop in condition over the past six months, with the failure occurring shortly before the current inspection. The mileage history reveals a pattern of rapid accumulation and maintenance gaps, which is characteristic of a vehicle that has been used for only a few months since its last MOT. The vehicle has not been serviced since approximately 14 July 2025, resulting in a gap of roughly 14 months. This lack of regular maintenance means that components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs have not been replaced, creating a high risk of future failure. The lack of a MOT in the summer season typically indicates that the vehicle was not driven in the UK during the warm months, further reducing its overall roadworthiness. Given the recurring structural and mechanical faults recorded in the history, including a cracked or perishing tyre and a child seat that prevents full inspection, the vehicle is not suitable for a buyer who does not have a qualified mechanic to perform a thorough check. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the integrity of the suspension, check for rust on the chassis, and ensure the brake discs are in good condition. If the vehicle is purchased, it should be inspected by a professional mechanic to assess the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension before any further driving is permitted.
