2021 Volvo XC60 Inscription B5 Mhev AWD A 2.0L Electric diesel · KT70 PXY

The Volvo XC60 presents a clean bill of health across its entire MOT history, with no defects, advisories, or failures recorded at any test. The most recent MOT, conducted on 16 February 2026 at 20,909 miles, passed with zero issues. This is a strong indicator of consistent upkeep and a stable maintenance trend. The vehicle has never presented a single defect to a DVSA tester, which is uncommon for a five-year-old SUV and suggests attentive ownership and regular servicing. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2021-registered vehicle. At 20,909 miles over approximately five years, the annual average sits around 4,182 miles, well below the typical UK average of 7,000 to 8,000 miles per year. The intervals between tests show steady but modest accumulation: 3,625 miles between February 2024 and January 2025, and 2,684 miles between January 2025 and February 2026. The slight tapering of annual mileage in the most recent period could indicate the vehicle has been used less frequently or has spent extended periods stationary. Low mileage is generally favourable, but prolonged inactivity can introduce its own concerns, particularly around tyre flat-spotting, brake surface corrosion, and battery health. Despite the flawless MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection. Low-mileage vehicles that stand for long periods can develop issues that MOT tests do not always capture, such as perished rubber suspension bushes, degraded brake fluid moisture content, or surface corrosion on brake discs and exhaust components that has not yet reached a failure threshold. The tyres deserve close scrutiny, as a vehicle covering fewer than 4,200 miles annually may still be running on its original factory rubber, which will be approaching five years old and potentially showing sidewall cracking regardless of remaining tread depth. The 48-volt mild hybrid battery system should also be checked for fault codes and charging behaviour, as infrequent use can affect its long-term performance. The MOT data tells a reassuring story, but it is only a snapshot taken once per year. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician, including a diagnostic scan of the vehicle's electronic systems and a physical underbody examination for corrosion or fluid leaks, would provide the confidence that paper records alone cannot deliver.
