2009 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · GK59 AHC

The 2009 Volvo XC60 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 August 2025 at 116,586 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The lone blemish is a failed test on 31 July 2023 at 109,923 miles that was immediately re-tested and passed the same day with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or minor pre-check issue rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at typical levels for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,858 miles per year. The record shows 104,478 miles on 5 August 2022, rising to 109,923 by 31 July 2023, then 113,738 on 24 July 2024, and 116,586 on 6 August 2025. Annual use held near 4,000 to 5,000 miles across the last three years, with no gaps or sudden accumulation that would hint at neglected storage or hard commercial use. The DVSA data itself is sparse on advisories, showing no flagged wear items across the visible history. Given the clean pass record, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable and structural items the MOT does not detail. At 116,586 miles the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will carry natural age-related fatigue even if no tester logged it. Check for corrosion on subframes and sills, and verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades which fall outside the defect-free summary. The same-day fail and pass in July 2023 suggests the prior owner addressed whatever halted the first test without delay. That responsiveness, paired with uninterrupted clean tests since, implies consistent basic upkeep rather than deferred maintenance.
