2010 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · VA10 AAY

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 19 May 2026 with no defects recorded. Looking back through the records since 2022, the maintenance trend appears stable and positive. While there were minor issues regarding headlamp lens degradation in 2024 and significant tyre wear advisories in 2023, these have since been cleared, suggesting the current owner is attentive to the vehicle's roadworthiness and addresses required repairs promptly. With a recorded mileage of 132,274 miles over a sixteen year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,267 miles per year. This usage rate is considered typical for its age and suggests a consistent pattern of use rather than extreme high-mileage motorway wear or the detrimental effects of prolonged standing. At this mileage, however, a buyer should expect natural wear on major consumables and drivetrain components, making a comprehensive service history check essential to verify the replacement of long-term wear items. Given the clean recent MOT history, the physical inspection should focus on age-related mechanical degradation not always captured in a basic test. Particular attention should be paid to the suspension system, specifically checking for perished suspension bushes or sagging coil springs, which can manifest as clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces during a test drive. The previous advisories regarding tyre edge wear suggest a potential misalignment; therefore, the current tyres should be inspected for uneven tread wear and any sidewall cracking or perishing consistent with the vehicle's age. Further inspection should extend to the braking system to ensure there is no binding in the calipers and that the brake discs are free from excessive corrosion or lip wear. It is critical to verify the service records for the timing belt and water pump replacement intervals, as these are vital engine components for this model. Finally, the buyer should check the condition of the 12V battery and ensure that all calendar-based fluids, including brake fluid and coolant, have been refreshed to prevent internal corrosion and maintain optimal engine thermal management.
