2014 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · JD10 TON

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift from a clean record to reactive repairs. While the car achieved three consecutive passes between 2022 and 2024, the most recent test in October 2025 at 75,266 miles revealed multiple mechanical deficiencies. The immediate failure and subsequent pass on that date indicate that the owner only addressed faults once they became a legal liability, rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,272 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 8,461 miles between the September 2024 test and the October 2025 test, which represents a spike in usage compared to previous years. This increased annual activity likely correlates with the appearance of wear on the front braking and suspension components, as these parts had reached the end of their functional life during this specific 8,000-mile interval. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the October 2025 record flagged play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint and uneven tyre wear on the edges. The uneven tyre wear suggests an alignment issue or worn bushes that may require immediate attention. Furthermore, the front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored while the pads were thin. You should verify that both components were replaced simultaneously with high-quality parts rather than just swapping the pads, as pitted discs lead to poor braking performance and premature pad wear.
