2019 Volvo XC60 Inscription D4 Auto 2.0L Diesel · KR69 MXW

The most recent MOT (December 2025) passed with minor tyre and brake issues: nearside rear tyre worn close to legal limits, and nearside front service brake fluctuating but not excessively. These are isolated concerns, not critical safety failures, but they suggest potential alignment or suspension issues contributing to uneven wear. A recurring pattern emerges in the MOT history: tyre defects on the nearside front and rear. In 2024, a nail was found in the nearside front tyre sidewall, and in 2025, the same side’s rear tyre showed severe wear. While no major mechanical faults were recorded in 2023 or 2022, the trend of nearside tyre issues indicates a possible underlying problem, such as misalignment, uneven weight distribution, or worn suspension components. This pattern has not worsened in severity but remains consistent, requiring closer inspection. The vehicle’s mileage (57,480 miles over 7 years) aligns with average usage (8,211 miles/year), suggesting neither excessive wear nor prolonged inactivity. However, the tyre issues may hint at regular, predictable wear rather than sudden damage. Lower mileage could also mean the car has been driven less aggressively, but the recurring nearside tyre problems suggest a mechanical factor, not just age-related wear. Buyers should prioritise inspecting the nearside tyres for current condition, checking for uneven tread depth, damage, or signs of misalignment.
