2026 VOLVO XC60 + BLACK ED T6 PHEV AWD A2.0L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the latest test in December 2025 at 66,056 miles passed, it returned with multiple advisories regarding tyre wear and suspension components. This follows a significant failure in November 2024, indicating that the previous owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach the MOT failure threshold rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. The car showed a clean record in December 2022 at 26,362 miles, but usage appears to accelerate thereafter. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles, with another 16,400 miles leading into the December 2025 test. This steady accumulation of miles explains the increasing wear observed on consumable items and rubber components in the more recent records. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the tester flagged a recurring issue with the offside front suspension arm pin or bush in both November 2024 and December 2025. This persistent fault, despite not causing an immediate failure, suggests a deteriorating component that will soon affect handling and accelerate tyre wear. Furthermore, the consistent reports of inner edge wear across all four tyres in the most recent tests indicate a likely alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require professional attention to prevent premature tyre replacement. The braking system also requires thorough scrutiny. The November 2024 failure due to thin pads and pitted discs across all axles shows that brake service was neglected. While these were likely replaced to pass the subsequent test, the history of pitting and scoring since 2023 suggests the vehicle may be prone to corrosion or sits for long periods. Verify that the current discs are free of heavy rust and that the calipers are not binding, as the record shows a clear pattern of allowing components to run until failure.
