2014 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · KP14 FXE

The Volvo XC60 holds a current, valid MOT certificate issued on the 1st of May 2026 at 186,026 miles, confirming it met the minimum safety standards at that time. The maintenance trend over the last three years is largely stable, though it reveals a pattern of neglecting basic consumable upkeep. The most recent test flagged advisory wear on both front tyres, mirroring recurring advisories for tyre condition noted in the March 2024 and April 2023 tests. A failure for fractured rear coil springs in March 2024 was promptly rectified before the pass later that same month, indicating a reactive rather than preventative approach to suspension maintenance. At roughly 12 years old with 186,026 miles on the clock, this vehicle has covered an average of approximately 15,500 miles per year, placing it in the high-mileage category for its age. The MOT history shows a notable gap between April 2023 and March 2024, during which the car covered 15,136 miles, followed by a further 8,466 miles before the May 2025 test. Mileage accumulation then slowed significantly, with no recorded distance between the May 2025 pass and the May 2026 test, suggesting the vehicle may have been stood or used very sparingly over the last year. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the undercarriage and suspension components before purchase. The fractured rear coil springs recorded in March 2024 raise concerns about the remaining suspension bushes and dampers, which will have endured considerable stress at this mileage. The repeated advisories for worn tyre edges across multiple tests suggest potential wheel alignment or tracking issues that may also be causing uneven wear on inner suspension bushes. Inspect the rear calipers and brake discs for signs of binding or lipping, as high-mileage automatics of this era are prone to sticking handbrake mechanisms. Finally, check the subframes and inner wing arches for corrosion, particularly given the high annual mileage and the likelihood of sustained use on salted winter roads.
