2012 VOLVO XC602.4L Diesel

The Volvo XC60 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 100,988 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 25 November 2024 examination at 90,552 miles passed cleanly after an initial failure on the same date with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or process anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories across the five-year record. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a 2012 vehicle. The odometer read 77,613 miles at the 24 November 2022 test, rose to 82,689 by 23 November 2023, then 90,552 by November 2024, and 100,988 by November 2025. That equates to roughly 7,200 miles per year, confirming light-to-moderate use with no sudden accumulation spikes or standing gaps. The clean record across all dates indicates the previous keeper kept basic consumable wear within test limits. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the car's fourteen-year age and 100,988 miles. The MOT history flags no corrosion or structural concerns, but Volvo XC60 models of this era commonly develop subframe rust and worn rear trailing arm bushes unseen in a visual test. Verify the 2024 duplicate entry was a DVSA clerical error and not a withheld defect. Check the timing belt service history, as the B4204 engine requires replacement near 110,000 miles or ten years. The clean MOT offers no evidence of neglect, yet the absence of advisories means wear items passed marginally and may need attention soon after purchase.
