2011 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · YY61 UGO

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in proactive care. While the car passed its most recent test on June 6 2025 at 158,797 miles, this followed a significant failure just five days prior at 158,618 miles. That failure revealed multiple critical issues including a fractured nearside rear coil spring and bald tyres, indicating that the owner only addressed defects once they failed inspection rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2024, the car covered 18,745 miles with a clean record, suggesting stable operation. However, the 6,316 miles recorded between June 2024 and May 2025 coincide with the sudden appearance of wear-related mechanical failures. This suggests suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where high-mile rubber components and suspension hardware reach the end of their functional life simultaneously. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, as the fractured rear coil spring noted in May 2025 often causes uneven wear on other bushes and bearings. The recurring mention of perishing and cracking on both rear tyres in the 2025 records suggests the rubber is age-related rather than mileage-related, which implies a risk of sidew failure. Check for further uneven tread wear on the front axle, as the previous failure for tyres being worn close to the limit points to a potential alignment issue or worn control arms that require immediate attention.
