2012 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · RJ62 AHU

The 2012 Volvo XC60 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-13 confirming no defects at 113,787 miles. Previous tests in 2024-09-24 and 2023-09-27 also passed without issues, though two consecutive failures in September 2024 (103,059 and 102,874 miles) occurred without recorded defects. These failures likely reflect temporary compliance issues, as the vehicle has since passed. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults in the record suggests the car has been maintained to meet legal standards, with no evidence of escalating problems. Mileage progression aligns with average usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging 8,128 miles annually. A notable gap between the 2023-09-27 test (94,933 miles) and 2024-09-11 test (102,874 miles) indicates a 7,941-mile increase over 12 months, consistent with typical driving patterns. The subsequent tests in September 2024 show minimal mileage fluctuations, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged inactivity. The MOT history lacks significant anomalies, with no evidence of rapid wear on consumables or major components. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these are common wear items in older SUVs. The absence of corrosion reports is reassuring, but visual checks for rust on underbody panels and wheel arches are advisable. While no advisories were recorded, the 2024 failures imply potential minor issues with emissions or lighting that may have been resolved. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on brake system functionality, exhaust integrity, and tyre tread depth to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing compliance and safety.
