2009 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · AD09 XCM

The Volvo XC60 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 September 2025 at 147,255 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 2 September 2024 test at 139,924 miles also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 28 August 2024 at 139,803 miles, yet the record shows no defects listed against that failure, and the vehicle passed four days later with no remedial advisories noted. This suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a structural or consumable fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a 17-year-old vehicle. The record shows 132,361 miles in September 2022, rising to 136,464 by September 2023, then 139,803 by late August 2024, and 147,255 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 3,500 to 7,700 miles per year across the captured period, well below the 8,662 annual average for the vehicle's life. The clean pass history with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion points to light use and a previous owner who kept the car to basic statutory testing rather than deferring obvious wear items. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the brake discs, coil springs, and subframe for corrosion given the vehicle's age and the unexplained 2024 failure. The absence of recorded advisories across five years means worn components such as wiper blades or tyre tread may simply have been changed without notation. Verify the 28 August 2024 failure reason via the full DVSA certificate, as the blank defects field leaves the cause unconfirmed. Given the sparse but clean record, the XC60 shows no worsening mechanical trend. The low annual mileage and repeated passes imply the drivetrain and structural integrity have not been heavily stressed. Treat the car as a sound used purchase subject to confirmation of that 2024 failure detail and a standard pre-sale mechanical check.
