2014 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · EU64 APK

The 2026‑01‑13 MOT at 84,525 miles confirms the 2014 Volvo XC60 remains roadworthy, though the near‑side rear brake pad measured just 1.1 mm and the rear disc displayed pitting and scoring without serious weakening. The vehicle passed with only this advisory, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening condition. The odometer has risen from 34,292 miles in December 2017 to 84,525 miles by January 2026, averaging about 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a twelve‑year‑old car. Growth is steady overall, but a noticeable jump occurs between the 2024 test at 76,203 miles and the 2026 test, adding 8,322 miles in two years, suggesting increased driving activity in that interval. No extended periods of zero mileage appear, indicating regular operation rather than long idle spells. A buyer should therefore prioritize inspection of the rear braking system, checking pad thickness, disc condition for deep scoring or cracks, and ensuring the calipers move freely without binding. Examination of the suspension bushes, coil springs and mounting points is advisable, as is a thorough search for structural rust on the sills, wheel arches and underbody, given the vehicle’s age. Finally, functional testing of the direction indicator, headlamp cleaning device and all lighting circuits will verify that the inoperative items noted in the 2020 test have been remedied.
