2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country + D4 AWD A 2.0L Diesel · AG09 JCG

A pattern of tyre-related issues and edge wear defined the vehicle's recent MOT history, though the most recent test on 11 August 2026 shows no defects recorded. The mechanical record shows a transition from a dangerous failure in July 2024, involving damaged cords on the offside rear tyre, to specific advisories regarding uneven tyre wear on both front tyres. While the 2025 and 2026 tests indicate the vehicle has returned to a state with no recorded defects, the previous warnings regarding tyres wearing on the edges suggest a history of alignment or suspension geometry issues that required rectification. The recorded mileage of 58,958 miles over approximately six years represents a consistent usage pattern of roughly 9,826 miles per year. This annual accumulation is typical for a vehicle of this age and does not suggest either excessive heavy-duty usage or long periods of stationary storage. Mechanically, this level of mileage implies that consumables such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes should be at a mid-life stage, and the steady progression of mileage suggests the drivetrain and cooling systems have been subjected to regular, predictable operating cycles. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the steering and suspension components during a test drive to ensure the previous issues with edge wear have been fully addressed. Listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn suspension bushes or damaged coil springs. Additionally, monitor the vehicle for any pulling to one side or steering wheel oscillation at motorway speeds, as these symptoms can point to lingering wheel alignment issues or uneven tyre wear that may not have been fully resolved by the replacement of the tyres flagged in 2024. The previous advisory regarding smearing wipers in 2024 is a minor point, but the focus should remain on the integrity of the contact between the tyres and the road surface. During the test drive, observe the smoothness of the braking action; any pedal judder or uneven deceleration could suggest that the braking system has been affected by the same uneven wear patterns seen on the tyres. While the latest MOT is clean, the history of edge wear on the front tyres necessitates a physical inspection of the front suspension linkages and steering rack to confirm the vehicle's directional stability.
