2010 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · GL60 YGU

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-22 showed the vehicle passed with several minor issues, including worn rear brake pads and offside front tyre close to the legal limit. Child seat fittings obstructed full inspection of adult seatbelts, and there were minor issues with headlamp lenses. This suggests that while the car is generally in working order, there are ongoing concerns with wear and tear. A notable pattern emerges from the MOT history, particularly with recurring issues in the front suspension and braking systems. The 2026-05-21 MOT failed due to a damaged side repeater mirror cover, headlamps aimed too low, and a damaged track rod end dust cover. These issues, combined with worn brake pads and tyres, indicate a trend of increasing mechanical wear, especially in the front suspension and braking components. The failure on 2026-05-21 followed a pass just one day earlier, suggesting that the vehicle may have been driven with known faults, potentially worsening the condition. The mileage of 168,212 miles over 16 years equates to roughly 10,513 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. This suggests regular use but not excessive wear, though it does mean that many components would be nearing or past their expected service life. The presence of multiple MOT failures in recent years indicates that the vehicle may have experienced periods of neglect or hard use, which could have accelerated component degradation.
