2013 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · GJ63 DZA

The most recent MOT on 2021-11-11 recorded a passed result, but noted rear brake discs as "worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened." This aligns with earlier findings from 2020 and 2018, indicating a recurring issue with brake components. The 2020 MOT also flagged rear tyres worn close to legal limits, a problem that appeared in 2017 and 2018. These patterns suggest consistent wear on braking systems and tyre condition, likely due to high mileage. The vehicle’s 168,040 miles over 13 years equates to roughly 12,926 annual miles, which is above average for its age. This could imply frequent use, accelerating wear on consumables like brakes and tyres. However, the absence of major defects in the 2019 MOT (161,931 miles) suggests temporary improvements or maintenance between 2019 and 2020. The 2021 report’s continued mention of brake disc issues, though not critical, indicates unresolved underlying wear. The trend shows stability in the types of defects but no clear improvement. Brake disc wear and tyre tread issues reoccurred across multiple MOTs, suggesting either ongoing maintenance challenges or potential neglect. The high mileage raises concerns about long-term reliability, particularly for components like suspension, drivetrain, and braking systems, which face increased stress with frequent use.
