2012 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · AH05 SJH

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-10-24 at 125,746 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. However, the historical record reveals two instances of failure on 2024-11-06 and 2023-11-03, both at identical mileages (112,391 and 101,572 respectively), though no defects were listed for these tests. This pattern suggests potential inconsistencies in testing or record-keeping, but the absence of recorded faults in the latest test indicates a stable roadworthiness status. The vehicle’s maintenance appears to have resolved prior issues, though the lack of defect details limits definitive analysis. The mileage progression shows an average annual usage of 8,982 miles, aligning with typical expectations for a 14-year-old vehicle. Between 2023-11-03 and 2024-11-06, the odometer increased by 10,819 miles, followed by 13,355 miles by 2025-10-24. These figures reflect steady usage without abrupt spikes, though the repeated failures at the same mileages raise questions about the reliability of the MOT data. The absence of recurring defects in the latest test suggests the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards, though the sparse historical detail complicates a full assessment. A buyer should prioritize a hands-on inspection of the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, which are prone to wear in older SUVs. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as these issues often emerge without triggering MOT failures. Additionally, the exhaust system and structural integrity should be checked for corrosion, as these are common concerns for vehicles of this age. While the MOT record shows no immediate risks, the vehicle’s history underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase evaluation.
