2015 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · GK65 NWT

The Volvo XC60 presents a generally sound mechanical picture, though the most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 at 133,905 miles reveals a maintenance trend that is beginning to slip. The vehicle passed, but the tester flagged both the Nearside Front and Nearside Rear inner tyres as worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. An advisory regarding the headlight levelling system was also recorded. This marks a shift from the clean bills of health recorded in 2021, 2022, and 2024, suggesting that routine consumable checks have become less consistent in the last year or so. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of sustained, high-intensity use. The car has covered approximately 51,394 miles in the five years between the October 2021 test at 82,511 miles and the October 2025 test at 133,905 miles, averaging over 10,000 miles annually in that period. The jump from 121,701 miles in October 2024 to 133,905 miles by October 2025 alone accounts for 12,204 miles in a single year. This is a high annual rate for a vehicle of this age and points to regular motorway or long-distance driving, which places steady wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain components. The recurring tyre wear pattern is the most telling detail in this record. Inner edge wear on the Nearside Front appeared in October 2023 at 108,050 miles, and by October 2025 the same issue had spread to the Nearside Rear. Inner edge wear on both axles typically points to worn suspension bushes, deteriorated track rod ends, or incorrect wheel alignment that has gone uncorrected over multiple test cycles. A buyer should have the front and rear suspension inspected for play and the wheel alignment checked on a four-wheel laser rig before committing to a purchase. Beyond the suspension, the headlight levelling advisory from the most recent test warrants attention, as it can indicate a failing leveling sensor on the rear suspension or a fault with the self-levelling headlight motor. Given the high mileage and the pattern of deferred minor items, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and suspension mounting points, is strongly recommended. The brake discs and pads should also be measured, as high-mileage use at this rate tends to consume braking components faster than average.
