2015 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · CP64 ULS

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows an improving trend in terms of recorded defects, following a period of significant mechanical issues. The January 2025 test at 135,442 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, which follows a more problematic 2024 inspection. In the January 2024 test, the tester flagged an advisory for thin offside rear brake pads, a damaged offside front track rod end ball joint dust cover, and a deteriorated front registration plate. The recorded mileage of 135,442 miles for an 11-year-old vehicle indicates an average annual usage of approximately 12,313 miles. This level of usage is relatively high for this age bracket, which often correlates with increased wear on suspension components and braking systems. The MOT records provided cover a four-year period from January 2022 to January 2025, showing consistent annual testing. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and front-end suspension. The January 2022 test was the most severe, resulting in a failure due to a non-functional offside front direction indicator and a dangerous defect regarding front brake pads measuring less than 1.5mm thick. That same test also noted worn rear brake discs. While the 2024 advisory for thin offside rear brake pads suggests a recurring need for attention to rear braking components, the 2025 pass indicates these specific issues may have been addressed. The presence of a damaged track rod end dust cover in 2024 suggests that the steering and suspension components require close scrutiny to ensure no further deterioration of the ball joints has occurred. Given the high mileage, checking the condition of all suspension bushes, coil springs, and the integrity of the braking hardware is necessary to verify the current state of the vehicle's mechanical components.
