2014 VOLVO XC702.4L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2025 at 103,898 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. Following a single failure in October 2022, the vehicle has passed three consecutive tests without any advisories, suggesting that previous issues were addressed and subsequent upkeep remains diligent. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. The data shows steady accumulation, moving from 83,409 miles in October 2022 to 95,452 miles in May 2024, and reaching 103,898 miles by June 2025. This regular usage suggests the car has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which is often beneficial for mechanical seals, gaskets, and brake components that can suffer from corrosion when a vehicle sits stationary. While the clean MOT history is encouraging, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for the XC70 at this age. Given the lack of recorded advisories, the tester has not flagged early signs of structural corrosion or suspension bushing degradation, but a manual check of the rear wish arms and coil springs is still prudent. The buyer should also verify the condition of the brake discs and the state of the tyres, as these are the primary consumables that require monitoring regardless of a clean MOT record.
