2018 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · HO18 ART

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 56,276 miles passed, it flagged front brake discs as pitted and scored. This follows an identical advisory from the July 2024 test at 41,921 miles, indicating that the braking components have reached the end of their functional life and remained untreated between inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a notable period of stability between 2021 and 2022, where the car covered only 3,647 miles with no recorded defects. However, usage increased significantly after 2022, with the vehicle covering over 13,000 miles between the July 2022 and July 2023 tests. This recent increase in annual mileage has introduced visible wear on consumables that was previously absent. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front braking system, as the record confirms recurring issues with disc surface degradation. The 2023 test also highlighted a thin nearside front brake pad and perished tyres, suggesting that the previous owner neglected basic maintenance until the MOT tester flagged it. You should verify the current tread depth of all four tyres and check for sidewall cracking, as the previous history indicates a risk of rubber hardening due to age rather than just mileage.
