2014 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · BJ64 HGE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 70,335 miles, this followed a failure just five days prior for critical safety defects. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple failures in 2024 and 2025 suggests that the owner is only addressing mechanical issues once they reach the point of an MOT failure. At approximately 12 years old, the recorded 70,335 miles represent a low annual average of roughly 5,800 miles per year. This low usage often leads to rubber degradation rather than mechanical wear, which is evident in the records. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the vehicle covered only 5,076 miles, yet it suffered from a fractured coil spring and thinning brake pads. The data indicates the car may sit for long periods, causing components to perish or seize to seize despite the low mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the nearside front anti-roll bar was recently flagged as insecurely attached. The recurring issues with worn tyres and thin brake pads across multiple tests suggest a lack of routine service intervals. You should specifically examine the sidewalls of the nearside rear tyre for further cracking or perishing, as the tester noted this condition in October 2025. Given the history of a broken coil spring, the integrity of the suspension bushings and mounting points should be verified to ensure no secondary damage exists from the previous failure.
