2017 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · DC66 HVS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in March 2026 at 58,287 miles passed, but it introduced advisories for both front tyres reaching the legal depth limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a relatively clean period in 2024, indicating that while the vehicle remains mechanically compliant, consumable components are now requiring immediate attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 19,222 miles, representing a steady pace of use rather than long periods of inactivity. This low mileage generally suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals, which is reflected in the mechanical-related minor faults recorded in early 2024. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, noting that the March 2024 failure involved a compromised nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover. While this was repaired to pass the test, the subsequent uneven wear noted on the front tyres in 2026 suggests an alignment issue or a worn bushing that remains unresolved. The braking system also warrants scrutiny; the 2025 test flagged pitted and scored front brake discs, which often indicates the vehicle sits for long periods or uses the brakes infrequently, potentially necessitating replacement to ensure consistent stopping performance.
