2014 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · JP12 ALP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 09 April 2026 at 95,524 miles. While the current status is pass, the history reveals a concerning pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. The car failed in both March 2025 and March 2026, only to pass a month later. This suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues when legally compelled by a test failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a moderate usage of approximately 8,000 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There is a significant gap of 11,066 miles recorded between March 2024 and March 2025, followed by another 13,388 miles in the final year leading up to the April 2026 test. This recent increase in usage indicates the vehicle is currently being driven more frequently, which accelerates the wear on rubber components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. Because the most recent records do not list specific defects despite the failures, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of components most likely to trigger MOT failures. Attention should be placed on the braking system for binding calipers or thinning discs, the condition of the control arms and bushes, and the integrity of the exhaust system. Given the age of the 2014 Volvo XC60, check the underside for structural corrosion on the subframe and mounting points, as these are common areas where rust develops over a decade of use.
