2014 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · EN63 TBY

The Volvo XC60 presents as a fundamentally sound vehicle with a stable, if slightly neglected, maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 January 2026 at 95,078 miles passed, but it flagged a cluster of new advisories centred on the nearside rear wheel. A nail puncture, tyre sidewall cracking, and edge wear were all recorded simultaneously, suggesting this corner has been ignored for some time. The recurring fault on the nearside registration plate lamp, present in four of the last five tests, confirms a pattern of minor electrical items being left unresolved rather than repaired. No structural corrosion, suspension, braking, or emissions failures have ever been recorded, which is a strong positive for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable, averaging roughly 7,900 miles per year. The record shows steady annual increments: 69,648 miles in January 2022, 76,910 in January 2023, 82,632 in January 2024, 88,902 in January 2025, and 95,078 in January 2026. This equates to approximately 6,000 to 7,000 miles per year in recent use, with no sudden spikes or suspicious gaps that would suggest long periods of standing or odometer anomalies. The service history appears complete with no missed annual tests. A buyer should inspect the nearside rear tyre carefully, as the combination of a puncture repair, sidewall cracking, and uneven edge wear strongly implies the tyre is overdue for replacement and may have been run in a deflated or weakened state. The nearside rear suspension should be checked for worn bushes or a failing damper, given the repeated tyre wear on that corner. The registration plate lamp fault, while minor, warrants a check of the rear light cluster wiring and connectors for corrosion. A thorough underbody inspection is advisable to confirm the absence of structural rust, particularly around the rear subframe and inner sills, as the MOT record offers no evidence of corrosion work but the vehicle is now of an age where this becomes a realistic concern.
