2018 Volvo XC60 2.0L Petrol · BP18 YRW

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-18 recorded two brake discs worn but not excessively, with no other critical defects. This suggests the vehicle passed with minor issues that did not require immediate repair. However, the 2024-09-11 MOT revealed rear tyres near legal limits and thin brake pads, while the 2023-10-03 failed MOT highlighted severe tyre wear, including exposed cords and tread depths below 1.6mm. These recurring tyre issues, combined with earlier reports of cracked tyres in 2022, indicate a persistent risk of tyre failure or unsafe handling. The pattern of defects shows a gradual improvement in tyre conditions since 2023, but brake components have remained a consistent concern. Brake discs were noted as worn in 2025 and 2024, while brake pads were thin in 2024. This suggests ongoing wear in the braking system, which could escalate if not monitored. The 2023 failed MOT also included front wiper blades smearing, a minor issue that may have been addressed by 2025. The vehicle’s mileage of 55,124 miles over 8 years equates to roughly 6,890 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This implies moderate use rather than heavy wear or prolonged inactivity.
