2014 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · KM64 HMJ

A spotless MOT record across eight consecutive annual tests, culminating in a clean pass on 23 January 2026, shows the vehicle has presented no observable safety or emissions failures during its inspected life. No defects or advisories have ever been logged, suggesting that any wear or degradation that has occurred has remained below the thresholds that trigger a MOT failure. At 108,419 miles the car averages roughly 9,000 miles per year, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within normal usage for a 2014 model. The annual testing schedule has been uninterrupted, indicating the odometer readings are likely reliable and that there have been no prolonged periods of inactivity that could conceal hidden corrosion or fluid deterioration. This steady accumulation points to consistent, moderate use rather than periods of high stress or neglect. Even with an unblemished MOT history, a buyer should still probe the wear items typical of a twelve‑year‑old SUV. On a low‑speed test drive listen for clunks or knocks over bumps that could reveal deteriorating suspension bushings, worn ball joints, or loose rear trailing arm mounts. Check that the steering feels firm without excessive play and that the vehicle tracks straight when the wheels are released. Apply the brakes firmly at a moderate speed; the pedal should depress smoothly without pulsation, and the vehicle should come to a stable stop without pulling to one side, which would indicate uneven disc wear or sticking calipers. Inspect the tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns that could betray misaligned suspension components. Finally, verify the condition of the engine and drivetrain under load. Warm the engine and listen for abnormal noises from the timing chain, valve train, or oil pump, and watch for any oil or coolant leaks around the valve cover, oil pan, and radiator hoses. A brief idle should be steady, with no excessive smoke from the exhaust that could hint at valve seal or injector issues. Confirm that the transmission shifts smoothly through all gears, and that there is no judder or grinding when accelerating. While the MOT record shows no failures, these practical checks will help ensure that the vehicle’s mechanical integrity remains sound beyond the statutory inspection points.
