2013 VOLVO XC602.4L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in February 2026 at 103,209 miles passed with an advisory for a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This follows a clean pass in early 2025, suggesting that the owner addresses mechanical faults only when they trigger a failure or reach an advisory threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 6,000 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This regular interval suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals, though the total mileage places expected wear on moving parts. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems. The failure in February 2024 due to a fractured offside rear coil spring is a common wear point for this model, but the subsequent advisory for uneven tyre wear in 2026 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that remain unresolved. The 2024 report of thin pads and pitted discs across all wheels confirms that the braking system was due significant attention, so a physical inspection should check for remaining sticking calipers or excessive fluid contamination to ensure the components were fitted correctly.
