2020 Volvo XC60 R-Design B4 Mhev AWD Auto 2.0L Electric diesel · SU51 ADO

The Volvo XC60 remains roadworthy with an MOT that is current until December 2026, the most recent test being a pass on 11 December 2025 at 85 522 miles with no defects recorded. The vehicle’s maintenance trend shows improvement: after a single failure at 53 249 miles on 13 December 2023, the subsequent annual tests in December 2024 and December 2025 both passed without issues, indicating that any fault identified in 2023 was addressed and the car has since run cleanly. Mileage accumulation has been steady rather than erratic. Between December 2023 and December 2024 the odometer rose from 53 249 miles to 69 060 miles, a gain of 15 811 miles, and from December 2024 to December 2025 it increased to 85 522 miles, adding another 16 462 miles. This averages roughly 15–16 k miles per year, which exceeds the typical usage rate for a six‑year‑old vehicle and suggests higher wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs and the hybrid battery pack. The test intervals are regular, providing a clear chronological picture without significant gaps. A prospective buyer should focus on the high‑mileage wear items and the past failure. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or thinning, check the rear calipers for binding, and examine suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration. Verify the hybrid battery’s state of health, look for exhaust corrosion or manifold leaks, and assess tyre tread depth for uneven wear patterns. A visual scan for rust around wheel arches, underbody panels and the chassis is also advisable. Since the 2023 failure showed no recorded defects, it is prudent to confirm that any underlying issue—such as a minor emissions fault or a light‑switch fault—was fully resolved. No recurring structural or mechanical faults are evident, but the elevated mileage warrants a thorough condition check before purchase.
