2022 Volvo XC60 Rdesgn PRO T8 Rchrg AWD A 2.0L Hybrid electric · KB06 HMB

The most recent MOT, carried out on 22 June 2026, resulted in a Pass. The only advisory noted was a slight fluctuation in the off‑side rear service brake, which was deemed not excessive. The previous test, dated 14 July 2025, also passed but recorded two advisories concerning tyre wear on the rear inner side and a minor distortion of the near‑side front inner wheel. Across the two‑year span there are no outright failures, indicating that the vehicle’s overall maintenance condition has remained broadly stable, with only the expected progression of wear on consumables. With a recorded 46,415 mi on a 2022 model, the car averages just under 12,000 mi per annum – a usage rate that sits comfortably within the typical UK pattern for a family SUV. There are no evident gaps in the mileage record that would suggest prolonged periods of inactivity, nor is there any indication of accelerated mileage accumulation that might have unduly stressed the power‑train, suspension or braking components. Consequently, the wear observed is largely a function of normal age and mileage rather than excessive use. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the tyre and wheel condition. The rear inner tyre was flagged as being close to the legal tread limit and showing edge wear, which often points to mis‑alignment, worn suspension bushes or uneven loading. A visual inspection should confirm that the tread depth exceeds 1.6 mm on all four tyres and that the sidewalls are free from cracking, bulging or dry‑rot, especially given the four‑year age of the tyres. The slight distortion of the near‑side front inner wheel warrants a careful check for curb or pothole impact – spin the wheel by hand to feel for wobble and listen for any metallic scrape that could indicate a bent rim. During a test drive, monitor the steering for any pull to one side, and listen for clunking from the front suspension when navigating bumps, as these symptoms would corroborate underlying alignment or bush wear. The advisory on the off‑side rear service brake suggests a modest variation in brake pressure, which can arise from uneven pad wear, a sticking caliper or a marginally contaminated disc surface. On the road, the brake pedal should feel firm and return promptly without pulsation; any judder, grinding or a spongy feel should be investigated further. Given the plug‑in hybrid T8 power‑train, it is also prudent to verify the health of the 12 V auxiliary battery and the high‑voltage hybrid battery – a voltage test or a scan for fault codes can reveal degradation that may not be evident from the MOT alone. Finally, inspect the under‑body for any signs of corrosion, check that all fluid levels (engine oil, coolant, brake fluid) are within specification and that the service book shows regular oil changes and coolant flushes in line with Volvo’s recommended intervals. These checks will help ensure that the vehicle’s mechanical condition matches its relatively modest mileage and age.
