2013 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · FV63 KYT

The Volvo XC60 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 5 May 2026 at 101,550 miles with zero defects. This is the first completely advisory-free result in the available history, indicating that the most recent keeper has addressed the longstanding suspension and braking wear that previously featured annually. The vehicle is currently roadworthy with no flagged defects, though the record shows it required a retest as recently as September 2023 after failing on headlamp aim, child seat obstruction, and multiple suspension items. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for a 2013 vehicle, averaging roughly 7,800 miles per year. Between the August 2025 test at 96,824 miles and the May 2026 test at 101,550 miles, the car covered 4,726 miles in just under nine months, which is slightly busier than the long-term average but not excessive. Earlier intervals show steadier use: 7,023 miles between August 2024 and August 2025, and 6,853 miles between September 2023 and August 2024. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes that suggest long-term standing or severe neglect. The recurring theme across the 2023 and 2024 tests is gradual wear in the rear suspension and braking components. Both rear anti-roll bar linkage bushes were flagged as perishing in September 2023, and the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint showed slight play detectable only through shaker plates. Rear brake discs were noted as worn in both 2023 and 2024, though not excessively. These are typical wear items for a vehicle of this age and mileage, and their absence from the 2025 and 2026 records suggests they have likely been replaced. A prospective buyer should still physically inspect the rear anti-roll bar links and bushes for deterioration, check the front lower ball joints for play, and examine the condition of the rear brake discs and pads to confirm the repairs have held. Beyond the flagged items, pay close attention to the condition of the front suspension arm bushes and the integrity of the subframe and underbody for corrosion, as these are common concerns on XC60s of this generation. The headlamp aim defects from the 2023 failure were minor but worth verifying in person, particularly if the vehicle has been loaded heavily or if suspension components have settled. Overall, the record reflects a vehicle that has moved from borderline wear into a well-maintained state, but a thorough underbody inspection remains essential before purchase.
