2021 Volvo V60 R-Design T6 Recharge AWD A 2.0L Hybrid electric · CUB 11T

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive care. While the car passed its January 2026 test at 76,961 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories that were entirely absent from the previous 2025 inspection. The presence of three tyres nearing legal limits and thinning rear brake pads indicates that the current owner is delaying routine consumable replacements until they approach the point of failure. The vehicle has covered significant mileage for its five-year age, averaging approximately 15,400 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 64,673 miles and the January 2026 test, the car clocked 12,288 miles in just twelve months. This high rate of accumulation suggests consistent motorway use or long-distance commuting, which typically accelerates the wear on suspension components, drivetrain bushings, and the complex electronics inherent to the AWD system. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and steering, as the report of edge-wear on the offside-rear and nearside front tyres suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the thin rear brake pads noted at 76,961 miles, a technician should check the brake discs for excessive scoring or glazing. The transition from a perfectly clean record in 2025 to multiple advisories in 2026 suggests the vehicle is now due for a comprehensive service to address further mechanical degradation.
