2009 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · GK09 AEP

The Volvo XC60 demonstrates a remarkably stable and clean roadworthiness record, having passed five consecutive annual MOT inspections without a single recorded defect or advisory. The most recent test conducted on 19 May 2025 at 165,648 miles confirms the vehicle remains in good operating condition. This consistent lack of failures suggests a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance by previous owners, as the vehicle has cleared every assessment on the first attempt for the last half-decade. The recorded mileage of 165,648 over seventeen years averages approximately 9,744 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage expectations for a vehicle of this class. The data shows a steady accumulation of miles, with the most significant increase occurring between May 2024 and May 2025, when the vehicle covered 14,639 miles. This higher recent usage indicates the car has remained in active service rather than sitting idle, which often helps prevent issues like seized brake calipers or perished rubber components that frequently plague low-mileage examples. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the high-wear mechanical systems. At this mileage, the suspension bushes, ball joints, and shock absorbers are likely nearing the end of their service life, even if they currently meet minimum test standards. You should check the underside for signs of surface corrosion on the subframes and inspect the exhaust system for any evidence of recent patching or advanced degradation. Given the age and mileage, verify the timing belt replacement interval has been strictly observed, as this remains a critical failure point not captured by the MOT testing process.
