2022 Volvo XC60 R-Design B5 Mhev Auto 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · CU22 KTT

The most recent MOT inspection conducted on 10 March 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle appears stable. While there was a failure in February 2025, this was limited to dangerous tyre defects which were rectified on the same day. The absence of any mechanical, electrical, or structural failures across the testing history suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition. The recorded mileage of 23,729 miles is notably low for a four year old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,932 miles per annum. While this indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension bushings, such low usage can sometimes be more detrimental than moderate mileage. Vehicles that spend extended periods standing are more prone to specific types of degradation, particularly concerning the rubber components and the electrical system. Given the low annual mileage and the previous failure regarding tyre bulges, a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres is essential. You should look for sidewall cracking or perishing, which occurs as rubber ages regardless of tread depth. Pay close attention to the inner and outer sidewalls for any signs of impact damage or structural failure. Additionally, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to keep the braking system clear and lubricated. Special attention should be paid to the health of the 12V battery and the mild hybrid system, as infrequent short trips can lead to insufficient charging cycles. You must verify the service history to ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed based on the manufacturer's calendar intervals rather than solely on mileage, as engine oil degrades over time. Finally, ensure the service book is fully stamped to confirm that the vehicle has been maintained according to the Volvo schedule, ensuring the longevity of the B5 powertrain.
