2022 Volvo XC60 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · HW71 ANF

This 2022 Volvo XC60 presents an MOT history that is effectively defect-free across all three recorded tests, with passes on 10 March 2026, 15 November 2024, and 21 November 2024, none of which generated any advisories or failures. With a four-year-old vehicle showing a completely clean DVSA record, the immediate roadworthiness picture is straightforward from a statutory testing perspective, though it is important to note that MOT records alone cannot confirm overall mechanical condition or the quality of routine servicing. The tight clustering of two tests in November 2024 followed by a clean pass four months later suggests the vehicle has been kept in active use and has not been off the road for any prolonged period. With 54,148 miles recorded on a four-year-old vehicle, the XC60 has been driven at approximately 13,500 miles per year, which is at the upper end of typical usage for its age class. This level of annual accumulation points to a car that has likely been a daily driver or a high-mileage commuter, meaning greater wear on consumable components such as brake pads and discs, tyres, drive belts, and suspension bushes than a lower-mileage example. Volvo XC60s of this generation are generally robust mechanically, but higher mileage does bring forward the point at which items such as rear brake discs, front lower suspension bushes, and anti-roll bar links may begin to require attention, even though none of these have yet been flagged on test. Given the absence of any specific advisories, there are no component-level flags from the MOT history to target on inspection, but a prospective buyer should still carry out a focused physical and dynamic assessment. On a test drive, listen for any clonking or knocking from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, particularly from the lower control arm bushes and anti-roll bar drop links, and pay attention to any vagueness or knocking through the steering rack under load. Check for pulling under braking, which can indicate warped front discs, and feel for a soft or spongy pedal that may suggest caliper binding or hydraulic issues, even though no brake-related items have yet been recorded. It is also worth inspecting the underside of the vehicle on a ramp for any early signs of corrosion on suspension components, exhaust mounting brackets, and underbody shielding, as well as checking for any oil misting around the engine and gearbox seams that might develop with higher mileage. Verify that all four tyres are of matching make, size, and tread depth, and confirm that the service history includes timely replacement of brake fluid, drive belt, and coolant at the manufacturer-specified intervals, since these are not assessed under MOT. Finally, a diagnostic scan using VIDA or a similar Volvo-compatible tool would be prudent to identify any stored fault codes in the driver assistance, emissions, or transmission control modules that would not appear on a standard MOT test.
