2010 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · GF60 HDZ

The 2010 Volvo XC60 currently fails roadworthiness at 2026-06-18 due to a severe suspension and structural integrity hazard, specifically a corroded front sub-frame that has weakened the frame's structural integrity. This condition is not merely a cosmetic issue but a serious mechanical risk that requires immediate professional assessment and potential repair to prevent catastrophic failure. The maintenance history indicates a pattern of rapid mileage accumulation and recurring structural faults. The vehicle has accumulated over 15,000 miles since its 2010 registration, which is excessive for a vehicle of its age, suggesting that the owner has likely neglected routine maintenance. The MOT record shows a distinct gap between the 2025 and 2024 tests, with the 2025 test passing at 238,565 miles while the 2024 test failed at 224,302 miles, indicating that the vehicle has experienced significant wear and tear since the 2024 inspection. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to verify the extent of the corrosion on the sub-frame and assess the condition of the front suspension components. The failure of the front sub-frame and the presence of oil on minimum levels in the engine suggest that the system is not in optimal condition for safe operation. The vehicle requires a thorough inspection of the suspension bushings, alignment, and brake systems to determine if the wear is due to premature failure or normal consumable condition.
