2018 Volvo XC60 2.0L Petrol · AX18 AEU

The vehicle appears roadworthy following its most recent test on 21 July 2026 at 66,133 miles, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in attention to consumables. While the car passed the latest inspection, the tester flagged a deteriorated rear registration plate and a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. These advisories suggest that while the vehicle remains functional, basic upkeep of wear items is becoming reactive rather than proactive. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,267 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 23,125 miles in June 2021 to the current 66,133 miles in July 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, and the incremental increases in mileage between 2024, 2025, and 2026 indicate regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity. Brake components represent a recurring area of concern. The July 2025 test at 55,470 miles highlighted thinning rear brake pads and pitted or scored rear brake discs on both sides. Although the 2026 test did not repeat these specific brake advisories, a buyer should physically inspect the condition of the braking system, specifically checking for uneven pad wear or disc surface irregularities. The history suggests the rear braking assembly has undergone significant wear. Tyre maintenance also requires scrutiny. The 2021 test at 23,125 miles recorded multiple tyres perishing or cracking, and the most recent 2026 test flagged a nearside front tyre worn on the edge. This pattern of tyre issues, combined with the recent advisory, indicates that the tread depth and sidewall integrity should be thoroughly checked across all four wheels. A physical inspection should also confirm that the registration plate has been replaced to meet legal visibility standards.
