2014 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · FP14 YSK

The vehicle currently holds a failed MOT status from September 2023, which was attributed to an anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicating an ABS fault, alongside a noted slight play in the nearside front steering linkage ball joint. The most recent test occurred at 182,149 miles, and the presence of a fault requiring attention suggests a current mechanical deficiency. The history shows a pattern of intermittent issues rather than a complete failure to maintain the vehicle, as the previous test in August 2022 was passed, though it noted an obstruction under the undertrays. The recorded mileage of 182,149 miles for a 2014 model places the vehicle at a high usage level, accumulating approximately 15,179 miles per year. This level of wear is consistent with the reported tyre wear noted in the August 2020 inspection, where the nearside tyres were worn close to the legal limit. The progression of the record indicates a relatively stable maintenance cycle between 2021 and 2023, with only the most recent test flagging a specific mechanical component issue related to the steering and braking systems. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front steering linkage ball joint for excessive play or looseness. The ABS warning lamp requires diagnostic attention, as this fault needs resolution before the vehicle can pass inspection. While the record does not show immediate structural rust, the high mileage and the noted tyre wear suggest that routine consumable replacement, including suspension bushes and brake discs, has been a necessary part of ownership to manage the vehicle's condition.
