2018 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · A9 RLJ

The Volvo XC60 presents a highly stable maintenance trend, evidenced by a completely clean MOT record. The most recent test on 17 June 2025 at 77,437 miles passed with zero defects or advisories. This indicates a vehicle that has required no remedial mechanical or structural attention throughout its recent history, reflecting consistent and adequate upkeep by the previous keeper. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between the 2021 test at 40,059 miles and the 2025 test at 77,437 miles, the car covered 37,378 miles over four years, averaging roughly 9,345 miles annually. The increments remain consistent, progressing from 47,898 miles in June 2022 to 59,177 miles in June 2023, and 67,729 miles in June 2024. No anomalous gaps or sudden spikes in usage suggest prolonged standing or excessive high-mileage runs. Although the MOT record is devoid of recurring faults, an eight-year-old XC60 at this mileage demands a thorough physical inspection of typical wear components. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers often degrade past 75,000 miles, so check for cracking or fluid leaks. Inspect the brake discs and pads for lipping or uneven wear, and verify the condition of the tyres, as age-related sidewall cracking can occur even with adequate tread depth. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and assess the underbody for any structural rust, particularly around the subframes and suspension mounting points common to this generation of Volvo.
