2010 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · FT10 DNF

The 2026‑02‑12 MOT at 112,589 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle presently satisfies DVSA roadworthiness criteria and that the maintenance trend is stable, with no recent failures to indicate deterioration. Mileage has risen steadily from 49,510 miles in July 2015 to the current 112,589 miles, averaging about 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 16‑year‑old Volvo XC60; notable jumps occurred between 2015 and 2016 (approximately 8,000 miles) and between 2016 and 2017 (around 9,000 miles), but there are no extended periods of zero mileage that would suggest neglect. Recurring issues such as rear shock absorber fluid leaks in 2016 and 2017, front brake pad wear below 1.5 mm in 2015, and thin rear brake pads in 2018 and 2019 point to a history of suspension and braking wear that should be examined for current condition, including rear suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and caliper binding, as well as verification that all pads meet the minimum thickness requirements. A buyer should therefore inspect the present state of the rear shock absorbers for leaks, assess the wear of brake pads and discs, check for any new corrosion on structural components, verify tyre tread depth and condition, and confirm that previous advisories have been fully remedied before final acceptance.
