2013 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · GN13 CWD

The 2013 Volvo XC60 has maintained a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with the most recent test on 19 November 2025—just six months ago at 87,895 miles—yielding a clean pass with no defects. While the November 2024 test at 78,868 miles revealed widespread minor wear (brake disc scoring, corroded rear coil springs, and perished suspension bushes), these were classified as non-serious and did not recur in the subsequent test. The October 2023 failures (tyre damage, washer fluid, and obscured under trays) suggest basic upkeep lapses, but the vehicle has since passed without these issues, indicating either corrective action or component replacement. That said, the absence of serious advisories or structural failures in the latest tests suggests the vehicle remains fundamentally sound, though some components are approaching their expected service life. The mileage progression of 6,761 miles annually is typical for a vehicle of this age, with no alarming gaps or spikes. The most recent MOT occurred just six months prior, which is ideal for assessing current condition, though the 2024–2025 interval (9,027 miles) is slightly longer than the 2023–2024 span (5,606 miles). The 2022–2023 period saw minimal mileage accumulation (7,357 miles), which could imply reduced usage or seasonal storage. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, and the overall pattern does not suggest neglect or aggressive driving. A prospective buyer should prioritise an inspection of the rear suspension and brake systems, as the 2024 MOT highlighted corroded coil springs and worn brake discs across all axles. The front suspension bushes were also deemed worn in 2024, though not critically. Tyres remain a concern—recurring damage to the offside rear tyre in 2023 and a cut in the nearside front tyre in 2024 warrant immediate visual confirmation of tread depth and structural integrity. The under-tray obscuring faults in 2023 suggests potential corrosion or fluid leaks may have been masked; a thorough inspection of the subframe and wheel arches is advisable. While the vehicle has passed its most recent tests, these areas require verification to confirm they have been addressed.
