2020 VOLVO XC60 RDESIGN PRO B5 MHEV AWD A2.0L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT indicates a slight decline in proactive maintenance. While the car passed its January 2026 test at 50,098 miles, it initially failed due to thin-out rear brake pads, a misaligned offside headlamp, and a nearside rear tyre. The presence of these faults after two years of clean records suggests the owner is now only addressing issues once they trigger a test failure rather than performing routine pre-emptive inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,350 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage between the January 2024 test at 23,809 miles and the January 2025 test at 36,134 miles, representing an increase of 12,225 miles. The subsequent interval of 13,964 miles leading to the January 2026 test confirms a consistent driving habit, which generally results in predictable wear on mechanical components like the mild-hybrid drivetrain system and braking assembly. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension geometry specifically, as the nearside rear tyre showed uneven wear on the inner edge during the 2026 test. This often indicates a misalignment issue or worn control arm bushes that could lead to rapid tyre degradation. Given the flagged thin rear brake pads, the physical condition of the rear discs should be checked for scoring or glazing to ensure the thin pads did not damage the friction surface. The headlamp alignment should also be verified to ensure the adjustment made after the failure was permanent.
