2022 Volvo V60 Inscription T6 Rchrg AWD A 2.0L Hybrid electric · AJ71 SFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift from minor consumable wear to structural component damage. While it passed its test in January 2026 at 40,002 miles, the tester identified a bent nearside rear lower track control arm. This represents a significant mechanical fault compared to the previous year's minor tyre issues. The inability to test the rear seat belts during this recent inspection also flags a safety oversight that requires immediate attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the January 2025 test at 28,887 miles and the January 2026 test at 40,002 miles, the car covered 11,115 miles. This steady suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally positive for rubber components and battery health, though it explains the wear seen on the suspension hardware. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the rear suspension geometry to ensure the bent track control arm has been replaced and that no secondary damage occurred to the subframe or mounting points. The previously reported sidewall cuts on both front tyres in 2025 suggest a history of rough driving, so the current tyres should be checked for further structural deformation. Furthermore, the rear seat belt mechanisms must be verified for functionality, as the failure to test them indicates a mechanical jam or broken buckle that the tester could not bypass.
