2015 VOLVO XC602.4L Diesel

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean passes to emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test in January 2026 at 103,930 miles identified a minor failure involving seepage from the offside front power steering hose. While the car passed, this marks the first defect recorded in four years, suggesting that seals and rubber components are beginning to require attention due to their age and mileage. At 103,930 miles over 11 years, the XC60 averages approximately 9,450 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a premium SUV. The record shows a consistent accumulation of mileage, roughly 7,000 to 7,500 miles annually between 2022 and 2026. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of sitting, which often leads to seal degradation, but it also places a standard load on the suspension and drivetrain-related components. A buyer should focus specifically on the recurring tyre wear issues noted in the 2023 and 2025 tests, where all four tyres were flagged as being close to the legal limit or showing uneven edge wear. This pattern often indicates a need for a wheel alignment or suggests worn suspension bushes and control arms. Physical inspection must also verify the power steering system to ensure the seepage noted in early 2026 has not progressed into a significant leak that could compromise the steering pump.
