2014 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · KP14 FXV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT record indicates a clear deterioration trend in the rear suspension and braking system that requires immediate inspection. The most recent test on 2026-05-28 at 130,262 miles was passed, yet the failure history on 2024-05-16 reveals a critical structural issue: the rear tyres have suffered cuts deep enough to reach the ply or cords, a condition classified as 5.2.3(d)(i). This failure occurred on a day with only 99,238 miles recorded, suggesting the issue has been accumulating rapidly over the past two years. The first two tests in 2025, including the 2025-05-15 test at 116,338 miles, were also passed, but the gap between the 2024-05-17 test at 99,238 miles and the 2024-05-16 test is significant, indicating that the tyre damage may have been exacerbated by the rapid mileage increase in the previous year. The maintenance history demonstrates a pattern where the vehicle was tested for a substantial distance in 2025 (116,338 miles) and 2024 (99,238 miles), yet the 2024-05-16 failure highlights a specific structural risk. The cuts in the rear tyres are more severe than those found on the 2025-05-15 test, which implies that the tyre condition worsened over the last year. Since the 2024-05-17 test was conducted on 99,238 miles, the current mileage is significantly lower than the 2024-05-16 test, suggesting that the vehicle has been driving for a long period and that the tyre damage may have been exacerbated by the low mileage on that specific date. The 2023-05-13 test at 83,138 miles was also passed, but the gap between the 2024-05-17 and 2024-05-16 tests is the primary indicator of the current state of the vehicle. Given the recurring faults and the structural risks identified, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes, suspension bushings, and structural integrity. The 2024-05-16 failure, which occurred on a day with only 99,238 miles, suggests that the tyre damage has been worsening since the 2024-05-17 test, meaning the vehicle is likely in a state of imminent risk. The 2023-05-13 test at 83,138 miles was passed, but the gap between the 2024-05-17 and 2024-05-16 tests is the primary indicator of the current state of the vehicle.
