2013 Volvo XC70 2.4L Diesel · AF13 KJZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 with 118,113 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of mechanical neglect in earlier years. While the 2022 test revealed multiple significant mechanical failures, the subsequent passes without advisories suggest that the current owner has addressed the primary faults and is maintaining the vehicle effectively. The mileage pattern is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 94,164 miles and the December 2025 test at 118,113 miles, the car covered roughly 24,000 miles, representing steady annual use. This regular accumulation is generally preferable to long periods of standing, which often leads to premature degradation of rubber components and internal corrosion within the braking system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension geometry. The record shows recurring issues with pitted brake discs on both front and rear axles across 2022 and 2023, indicating these were likely replaced shortly after the 2022 failure. You must verify the current discs are free of scoring or uneven wear. Additionally, the 2022 failure flagged a rough nearside front wheel bearing and a worn track rod end. A physical inspection should check for any steering play or humming during a test drive to ensure these were completed to a professional standard. The 2024 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the edge suggests a potential alignment issue that should be monitored to prevent premature wear on new tyres.
