2018 Volvo XC60 2.0L Petrol · CV18 VDE

The Volvo XC60 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 May 2025 at 34,315 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed attempt on the same date at 34,313 miles shows no defects listed, indicating an administrative or pre-check rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual tests from 2022 through 2025 consistently passed with zero advisories. The recorded mileage reflects very light use for an eight-year-old vehicle. It covered 19,617 miles at the 10 May 2022 test, then 25,564 by 30 May 2023, 29,862 by 30 May 2024, and 34,315 by 15 May 2025. That averages roughly 4,289 miles per year. The clean record across all entries suggests the previous owner kept the car garaged or on short runs, with no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, or suspension bushes. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the low mileage and likely periods of standing. Damp storage can hide rust on subframes and brake lines that a pass with no advisories will not reveal. Check the condition of flexible brake hoses and suspension mounting points for perishing from inactivity. Verify the 15 May 2025 failure reason at the DVSA portal despite the no-defects notation. Confirm the service history matches the low annual mileage. The absence of recorded faults implies careful upkeep, but static age-related deterioration remains a risk on a car used this little.
