2017 Volvo XC60 2.0L Petrol · CW11 AGW

A consistent record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent test on 17 August 2026 showing no defects. The MOT history demonstrates a stable pattern of compliance over the last seven years, with only a single advisory recorded in September 2023 regarding an offside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit on the inner edge. Aside from that specific instance of tyre wear, the vehicle has maintained a clear pass history without any recorded failures or structural or mechanical defects, indicating a trend of consistent compliance through its recent testing cycles. The recorded mileage of 48,895 miles against a 2017 registration suggests a low annual usage profile of approximately 5,433 miles per year. This level of accumulation is significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, such low mileage often results in less wear on high-use components like the engine, gearbox, and braking system; however, it can also mean that components such as suspension bushes, seals, and tyres may experience more age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. The continuity of the MOT tests suggests the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting stationary for extended periods. Given the specific advisory noted in 2023 regarding the offside front tyre wearing on the inner edge, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front-end geometry during a test drive. Uneven tyre wear on the inner edge often points to issues with wheel alignment, such as incorrect camber or toe settings, or potentially worn suspension components. During the test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when navigating uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which could indicate worn ball joints or control arm bushes. Additionally, check for any pulling to one side when the steering wheel is released on a level road, as this would confirm an alignment issue. While the recent records are clear, the low annual mileage warrants a physical inspection of rubber components and fluid levels to ensure that age-related perishability has not set in. Inspect the condition of the tyres for any signs of sidewall cracking or perishing, and check the brake discs for any surface corrosion that can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to keep them clean. Ensuring the steering feels precise and centered will be a key indicator of whether the previous tyre wear issue was a one-off occurrence or a symptom of ongoing suspension geometry problems.
