2011 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · GU11 WFL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 15 June 2026 at 103,489 miles, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening neglect regarding consumables and minor mechanical components. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the June 2026 test flagged four tyres worn close to the legal limit and a severely deteriorated nearside front CV boot. This represents a significant increase in advisory items compared to the clean record seen in November 2023 at 86,208 miles. The recurrence of worn tyres across multiple tests, including the October 2024 inspection at 92,109 miles, suggests the previous owner has been reactive rather than proactive with basic maintenance. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 86,072 miles in March 2023 to 103,489 miles in June 2026. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which is positive for preventing seal drying or fuel degradation. However, the jump of roughly 11,000 miles between October 2024 and June 2026 indicates the vehicle is being used regularly, which explains the accelerated wear on the tyres and suspension components. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and drivetrain. The record shows a history of fractured coil springs in November 2023, which caused an initial failure, and the recent report of play in the nearside track rod end suggests further steering component wear. The severely deteriorated nearside front CV boot noted in June 2026 requires immediate attention to prevent drive shaft failure. Given the recurring issues with tyre wear and suspension components, a thorough check of the wheel alignment and the condition of all bushes and joints is necessary to ensure the vehicle is not suffering from underlying geometry problems.
