2015 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · DA15 BXY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy certificate but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred repairs. While it passed its most recent test on 30 April 2026 at 132,029 miles, it had failed just days prior due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator lamp and extensive braking defects. The transition from 2025 to 2026 shows a significant deterioration in the braking system, moving from worn discs to heavily pitted and scored surfaces across all four wheels alongside thin-out pads. At 132,029 miles, this 11-year-old Volvo has covered an average of 12,000 miles per year. The record shows consistent annual usage, with approximately 8,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,700 miles leading into the 2026 inspection. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly for long distances, but the recurring test failures indicate that the owner tends to address mechanical issues when an MOT failure forces the issue rather than performing preventative maintenance. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension.. tester flagged an offside track rod end ball joint with play in 2024, which progressed to excessive play by 2025, suggesting the front suspension components are reaching the end of their life. The oil leak noted in 2024 also requires monitoring to ensure it has not worsened into a significant leak. Furthermore, the repeated failure of the engine management light circuit in both 2025 and 2026 necessitates a professional diagnostic scan to ensure there are no hidden electronic faults currently being masked.
