2021 Volvo XC60 2.0L Petrol · AE70 EHW

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent inspection in January 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest report indicates a minor mechanical concern. The tester flagged thin nearside rear brake pads at 44,447 miles, which represents a standard consumable item item rather than a systemic failure, but suggests the vehicle requires attention soon to prevent a future fail. The mileage profile is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,900 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 35,170 miles and the January 2026 test at 44,447 miles, the car covered 9,277 miles. This regular interval suggests consistent use, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components like seals and suspension bushings to prevent corrosion or seizing that often occurs with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the braking system during a physical viewing to address the thinning nearside rear pads. Since the tester noted only one side was thin, it is essential to check if a brake caliper is binding or sticking, which could have caused uneven wear. Given the clean record from the previous year at 35,170 miles, there is no evidence of structural neglect or recurring mechanical faults, indicating the previous owner generally maintained the vehicle to standard standards.
