AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile following its most recent test on 28 November 2025 at 156,854 miles, which resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. The history shows a pattern of resolving issues, as the vehicle successfully passed subsequent tests after failing in both December 2023 and December 2024. This suggests that previous failures were addressed by the owner, moving the vehicle from a state of non-compliance to a consistent passing standard. The mileage accumulation is significant for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,066 miles per year. The jump from 112,501 miles in December 2023 to 137,143 miles in December 2024 indicates a steady usage pattern of roughly 24,642 miles over that twelve-month period. This higher-than-average annual mileage increases the expected wear on heavy-duty components such as the suspension bushings, coil springs, and drivetrain assemblies. A physical inspection should focus on the mechanical components most likely affected by this high mileage. While the MOT records do not specify the nature of the previous failures, the high annual mileage warrants a close examination of the suspension integrity and any signs of bushing degradation. Given the vehicle's age and usage, checking for corrosion on the underbody and examining the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring is advisable. The absence of advisories in the most recent 2025 test is a positive indicator of current roadworthiness. However, the buyer should verify that the repairs required to clear the 2023 and 2024 failures were carried out professionally. Focus on the condition of the exhaust system and the integrity of the various rubber seals and hoses, as these often show age-related degradation regardless of the MOT pass status.

MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2013 Volvo Xc60 (KR63 AAX) between December 2023 and November 2025.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 28 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (10 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 13 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”.

Our Verdict

Exercise caution due to high mileage and

Given the high mileage of over 156,000 miles, you should prioritise checking the service history for evidence of major component changes, such as the timing belt and water pump. The MOT history shows several instances of tyre-related failures and brake disc wear, so ensure that all four tyres are currently in good condition with sufficient tread depth and no sidewall damage.

Negotiate based on the maintenance required to address previous failures. Specifically, ask for proof that the CV gaiter and the rear brake discs mentioned in the 2024 MOT failure have been replaced. Because this is a 2.0L diesel XC60, check for any signs of oil leaks or excessive smoke, which can be common in high-mileage diesel engines.

As a 1984cc diesel, this XC60 will likely fall into a mid-range insurance group and tax band typical for premium SUVs of this era. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but diesel engines of this size are generally more efficient for long-distance motorway cruising.

Maintenance costs for a high-mileage Volvo can be higher than average due to the complexity of its components. Expect to budget for regular servicing and potential repairs to suspension or braking systems, which have appeared in its MOT record. The estimated annual running cost is reflective of high mileage usage.

You must closely inspect the suspension components. The 2023 MOT recorded a fractured offside rear coil spring, so check for any signs of uneven ride height or knocking sounds when driving over bumps. Additionally, the 2024 MOT noted a holed CV gaiter; inspect the drive shafts for any grease leakage or torn rubber boots.

Check the condition of the tyres thoroughly. The vehicle has a history of failures involving perished, cut, or worn-edge tyres (recorded in 2023 and 2024). Finally, examine the brake discs for pitting or scoring, as the 2024 test identified worn rear discs. Ensure the braking system feels smooth and does not vibrate under heavy use.

This 2013 white Volvo XC60 diesel has covered 156,854 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. The vehicle's history shows a pattern of failures related to tyres, brake discs, and suspension components, including a fractured coil spring in 2023. While the 2025 MOT passed without defects, the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,945 miles per year.

Aggregate data for this model shows an 84.6% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including coil springs and tyres.
