2018 Volvo XC60 2.0L Petrol · J88 PAW

The 2018 Volvo XC60 presents a stable roadworthiness status with no active defects. The most recent test on 23 May 2025 at 44,687 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, continuing an unbroken sequence of satisfactory results since mid-2022. The maintenance trend is resolving and consistent; the only blemish is a failed test on 29 June 2022 at 22,719 miles that the DVSA record shows with no defects logged, immediately followed by a pass on 30 June 2022 at 22,720 miles, indicating an administrative or measurement discrepancy rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 5,586 miles, low for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records confirm light use: 32,456 miles at the 14 July 2023 test, 38,804 miles on 6 June 2024, and 44,687 miles by May 2025. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear between tests. Such low yearly coverage suggests prolonged standing periods are possible, which can age tyres, flat-spot suspension bushes, and encourage corrosion on underbody structures despite the clean MOT slate. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension components, brake discs, and coil springs given the car's age and likely static intervals. The MOT history flags no recurring wear on consumables or structural items, yet the 29 June 2022 failure with zero recorded defects warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason via the full certificate. Verify the exhaust emissions and structural integrity in person, as a clean advisory sheet does not capture latent rust or degraded rubber mounts invisible to the annual test.
