2015 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · BK65 VUP

The Volvo XC60 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on the 5th of January 2026 at 94,252 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a significant turnaround from the failed test just twelve months prior, where the vehicle was flagged for exposed tyre cords and significantly worn rear brake discs. The clean bill of health in January 2026 suggests the previous owner addressed these critical safety failures promptly, moving from a state of neglected consumables to a fully compliant vehicle in a short timeframe. The mileage accumulation of roughly 8,568 miles per year is typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle, indicating consistent daily use rather than prolonged standing. The record shows a notable gap between the April 2024 tests and the January 2025 retest, during which the mileage jumped from 81,729 to 87,209 miles, representing approximately 5,480 miles in nine months. This is a steady rate of use, and the subsequent jump to 94,252 miles by January 2026 shows a slightly higher annualized rate of around 7,000 miles, suggesting the vehicle has been driven regularly and kept in active service without long periods of dormancy. Despite the recent clean test, the recurring nature of tyre wear issues warrants close attention. In April 2024, both rear tyres were failed for exposed cords, and the following January the nearside front was in a similar condition, indicating a persistent issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry causing uneven wear. A buyer should inspect the inner edges of all four tyres for feathering or camber wear and check the condition of the track rod end dust covers, which were flagged as insecure in January 2025. The history of worn and pitted front brake discs across multiple tests also suggests the vehicle may have been driven in a manner that heats the braking system unevenly, so checking for lipping, thickness variation, and disc condition is advisable. The power steering pipe seepage noted in April 2024 did not appear in subsequent records, implying a repair was carried out, though a physical inspection of the hose and rack for fresh fluid residue remains prudent. The under trays and sill covers fitted during the 2024 tests obscure the structural underside, making a physical inspection of the subframe, sills, and inner arches for corrosion essential. The combination of a recent clean pass and a history of promptly rectified failures points toward a vehicle that is currently roadworthy, but one that requires careful verification of its suspension geometry and structural integrity before purchase.
