2021 Volvo XC60 2.0L Electric diesel · KS21 YSF

This 2021 Volvo XC60 presents a generally clean mechanical history, but the most recent MOT test in October 2025 reveals a specific and concerning pattern regarding rubber component deterioration. After two years of passing tests with zero defects, the vehicle suddenly accumulated multiple advisories related to ageing materials. The primary risk involves the tyres and windscreen wipers. The tester recorded that both front tyres and the offside rear tyre were slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing, alongside a defective offside front windscreen wiper blade. This indicates that while the vehicle has been reliable, the rubber parts are suffering from environmental degradation or age. The condition trend for these specific components is worsening. The shift from a completely clean record in 2023 and 2024 to defects across three of the four tyres suggests the rubber is reaching the end of its serviceable life. However, there is no evidence of structural, braking, or suspension issues in the provided history. With roughly 30,342 miles recorded over five years, the vehicle has an annual mileage of about 6,000 miles. This is typical usage but relatively low, which implies the tyre cracking is likely due to age and weathering rather than heavy wear from driving.
