2023 Volvo XC60 Ultimte T8 Recharge AWD A 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · GL73 FDZ

The most recent DVSA MOT carried out on 19 December 2025 recorded a full pass with no advisory or failure items, indicating that at the time of testing the vehicle met all statutory safety and emissions requirements. With only a single MOT entry available, the trend can be described as stable; there are no recorded defects to suggest a deterioration in condition, and the clean result implies that the owner has kept up with the basic service schedule required for a relatively new model. At 18 851 miles logged on a 2023 Volvo XC60 Ultimate T8 Recharge AWD, the average annual mileage works out to roughly 6 300 miles per year. This figure sits comfortably within the typical UK usage band for a three‑year‑old premium SUV and does not point to any high‑stress operating regime. The mileage is low enough that major wear items such as the hybrid drivetrain, suspension components and brake discs are unlikely to have reached the end of their design life, yet it also suggests the car may have spent periods of limited use, which can introduce age‑related issues even when the clocked mileage is modest. Because the MOT history is clean and the mileage is modest, the buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or any signs of perishing, and verify the tread depth is still within legal limits; the DOT code on the tyre sidewall will reveal the manufacturing date and help confirm that the tyres are not beyond their recommended service life. Inspect the 12‑volt starter battery and the high‑voltage hybrid pack for any loss of charge or error codes, and consider a load test on the conventional battery as it may have suffered from long periods of standing. Check the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or uneven wear, and ensure the pads have sufficient thickness; listen for any shudder or pulsation when applying the brakes, which can indicate glazing or caliper binding. A visual inspection of the suspension should include the condition of the front and rear bushings, coil springs and any anti‑roll links, listening for clunking noises over bumps that would reveal worn joints. Finally, verify that the service book shows regular oil, coolant and brake‑fluid changes at the intervals recommended by Volvo, as time‑based fluid degradation can occur even with low mileage. Look under the vehicle for any signs of oil or coolant leaks, and confirm that all recall or software updates for the T8 hybrid system and AWD drivetrain have been applied. A qualified pre‑purchase inspection by a technician familiar with Volvo’s plug‑in hybrid architecture will give the most comprehensive assurance that the vehicle’s mechanical and electronic systems are in sound condition before finalising the purchase.
