2018 Volvo XC60 R-Design T5 AWD Auto 2.0L Petrol · KT67 HBP

The most recent MOT test on 19 June 2025 confirmed the Volvo XC60’s roadworthiness at 68,579 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past three tests, as neither the 2023 nor 2022 examinations flagged any issues. The vehicle has consistently passed without fail, suggesting that major mechanical or structural concerns have not yet arisen. However, the 12-month gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests means the current roadworthiness status is now slightly outdated, as the vehicle has accumulated an additional 4,980 miles since its last inspection. Buyers should verify whether this period has been maintained properly, particularly for high-wear components. The recorded mileage of 68,579 miles over eight years aligns with typical usage patterns for this model, averaging approximately 8,572 miles annually. There are no significant gaps in the MOT history that would indicate prolonged neglect, nor are there abrupt spikes in mileage that might suggest aggressive driving or repeated short-term ownership. The consistency of the mileage suggests the vehicle has been used steadily rather than stored or driven sporadically. That said, the lack of advisories or defects in prior tests does not preclude the need for a thorough inspection of consumable parts, as wear accumulates over time. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should be on suspension components, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and strut mounts, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes—though not flagged in tests—should be checked for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and pads, especially if the vehicle has encountered wet or salted roads. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns must also be examined, as the absence of defects in prior tests does not guarantee they have been consistently maintained. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be assessed for corrosion, as AWD vehicles are often exposed to more varied driving conditions. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be inspected for leaks or excessive soot, as these can indicate underlying engine or catalytic converter issues.
