2014 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · YW14 AAJ

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness status due to a pattern of immediate failures during MOT testing. While the most recent test on 1 April 2026 at 136,726 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, this follows a trend where the car consistently fails to pass on the first attempt. The maintenance trend appears unstable, as the vehicle repeatedly requires intervention to meet minimum legal standards for the annual test, suggesting a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical upkeep. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 3,863 miles, while it clocked another 4,187 miles in the year leading up to the April 2026 test. This relatively low annual usage suggests light use which can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and suspension bushings. However, the lack of recorded advisories in the passing tests indicates that minor developing issues are being ignored until they reach a point of outright test failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the components that triggered the recent failures. Since the record shows failures without specific defects listed in the summary provided, it is likely the vehicle suffered from items such as lighting issues or minor mechanical faults that were rectified immediately after the test. Focus the inspection on structural corrosion on the underbody, the condition of the control arms, and the state of the brake discs. The recurring failures suggest that the previous owners only addressed the absolute minimum necessary to obtain a certificate, which may mask deeper mechanical wear on the drivetrain or suspension system.
