2021 Volvo XC60 Momentum B5 Mhev Auto 2.0L Hybrid electric · DX21 NFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on January 13, 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern regarding tyre condition and surface integrity. While the car passed without mechanical failures, the recurring advisories for perishing and damage across the last two tests indicate a neglect of proactive consumable replacement despite the low overall mileage. At 27,301 miles, this Volvo XC60 has covered significantly less than the national average, averaging approximately 5,460 miles per year. The gap between the October 2024 test at 24,718 miles and the January 2026 test shows an accumulation of only 2,583 miles over fifteen months. This low usage suggests the vehicle likely sits for extended periods, which directly correlates with the rubber-related cracking and perishing noted by the tester. When a vehicle is driven infrequently, the rubber compound degrades due to age and oxidation rather than tread-related wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres to check for sidewall cracking. The 2026 test flagged three tyres for perishing or damage, and the 2024 record specifically noted a nearside front tyre worn to 3mm with uneven edge wear. This suggests a potential alignment issue or uneven pressure that has not been addressed. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust on the rotors when not used frequently enough to clear the material.
