2015 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · GK65 NWA

The Volvo XC60 presents a stable and generally improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 19 February 2026 at 108,144 miles. The most recent test recorded only two minor advisories: an inoperative nearside rear registration plate lamp and rear brake pads wearing thin. Both are routine consumable items, not structural or mechanical risks. The absence of any suspension, braking, or emissions defects in the latest test marks a clear improvement over earlier years, suggesting recent attention to the vehicle's upkeep. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for an eleven-year-old vehicle. Between the December 2022 test at 72,063 miles and the February 2026 test at 108,144 miles, the car covered 36,081 miles over roughly three years and two months, averaging around 10,900 miles annually. This sits comfortably within the typical range and indicates regular use without prolonged standing periods or suspiciously low accumulation. The record shows no gaps in annual testing, providing a continuous and reliable service history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension and braking components, which have drawn repeated attention across multiple tests. In December 2023 at 81,289 miles, both nearside and offside rear suspension arm pins or bushes were flagged as worn, though not yet causing excessive movement. By the February 2026 test, no suspension defects appeared, implying replacement or repair had taken place. Confirming the condition of these components, along with the subframe and rear anti-roll bar links, remains prudent given the earlier wear pattern. The rear brake discs were noted as worn in February 2025 at 94,581 miles, and the rear pads were flagged as thin in February 2026. A hands-on check of disc thickness, pad depth, and caliper operation is advisable to verify whether fresh parts have been fitted or whether further replacement is imminent. Beyond the flagged items, examine the rear tyre sidewalls carefully. The offside rear tyre was noted as slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing in February 2025, and while this did not recur in 2026, age-related degradation can develop quickly on a vehicle of this vintage. Check all four tyres for date codes, uneven tread, and dry rot, particularly if the car has spent periods stationary. The nearside rear lamp fault from the latest test is trivial but worth confirming as a functioning bulb rather than a deeper wiring or earth issue. Overall, the record reflects a vehicle that has moved from a period of deferred suspension and brake maintenance into a well-kept state, with no outstanding structural or safety-critical concerns visible in the data.
