2013 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · BJ63 LPV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent MOT test in August 2025 at 101,479 miles passed, it carried significant advisories regarding thin front brake pads and uneven wear on the nearside front tyre. This follows a pattern where components are only addressed once they reach a failure or critical point, suggesting the previous owner may have neglected routine servicing outside of the annual testing intervals. The mileage profile is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. There is a notable period of higher activity with 13,000 miles driven between September 2023 (72,128 miles) and August 2024 (85,418 miles). This rapid accumulation coincides with the mechanical failure in August 2024, where both rear coil springs fractured simultaneously. The jump to the 100,000 mile mark often accelerates the degradation of rubber components and cooling systems. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring inner-edge tyre wear in 2023 and 2025, which typically points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The radiator leak flagged in August 2024 requires verification to ensure it was properly replaced rather than merely topped, as minor leaks can lead to catastrophic engine overheating. Given the failure of the rear springs and the thinning of the pads, the entire braking system and suspension assembly should be checked for excessive corrosion or secondary damage before purchase.
