2018 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · DX68 HWA

The 2018 Volvo XC60 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 23 October 2025 at 78,984 miles with zero defects. This outcome is significant because it follows a period of recurring brake and tyre wear issues between 2022 and 2023, all of which appear to have been rectified before the most recent test. The vehicle is currently roadworthy on paper, with no outstanding advisories or failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between the November 2022 test at 49,196 miles and the October 2025 test at 78,984 miles, the car covered approximately 29,788 miles over nearly three years, averaging close to 10,000 miles annually. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record that would suggest long periods of disuse or clocking concerns. The steady accumulation points to regular daily use rather than prolonged standing, which can sometimes cause its own issues with brake surface corrosion and tyre flat-spotting. A buyer should still inspect the braking system closely on a physical check, given the history of worn front discs and pads flagged in November 2023 at 61,431 miles, along with a rear brake disc and pad failure just days earlier in November 2022 at 49,196 miles. While the clean 2025 result implies replacement parts were fitted, verifying the condition of the current discs, pads, and calipers for uneven wear or binding remains prudent. The nearside rear tyre was flagged twice in 2022, and both front tyres showed edge wear in 2023, suggesting possible tracking or suspension geometry issues. A four-wheel alignment check and close inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for deterioration would be wise before purchase.
