2015 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · BK65 VUT

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, following a clean pass in its most recent inspection. The test from October 2025 at 167,884 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates an improving trend in maintenance standards compared to 2023, where multiple mechanical and consumable issues were identified and subsequently addressed to achieve recent clean records. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-intensity usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging over 15,000 miles annually. Between October 2021 and October 2023, the vehicle covered 14,166 miles, showing a steady annual accumulation of roughly 7,000 miles. This regularity suggests the car has been used regularly for long-distance driving, which typically places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components compared to low-mileage examples of the same age. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension geometry, given the history of ball joint failure. The 2023 test flagged a severely deteriorated offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover and play in the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage. While these were cleared, high-mileage usage often accelerates the degradation of rubber components and steering joints elsewhere. The recurring issue of rear tyre wear patterns between 2021 and 2023 suggests a history of neglecting alignment issues or delayed maintenance, which should be verified by checking for uneven wear on the current set.
