2013 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · KT13 OTP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but exhibits a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on June 16, 2025 at 134,859 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure on the same day for a fractured offside rear coil spring, lighting issues, and insufficient washer fluid. This trend suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults once they resulted in an MOT failure, rather than servicing components like the suspension or bulbs during annual scheduled intervals. At 134,859 miles over 13 years, the XC60 has averaged approximately 10,374 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a premium SUV. The mileage progression shows consistent usage, with a 22,126-mile gap between June 2023 and June 2025 tests. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which helps prevent internal seal degradation, but it also places significant expected wear on the rubber-based suspension components and braking system noted in the record. A buyer must scrutinise the suspension geometry thoroughly, as the history shows recurring issues with the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints in 2024 and a snapped coil spring in 2025. The inspector should check for perished rubber on all tyres, given that the 2025 test flagged cracking and damage on both rear tyres. Furthermore, the thin front inner brake pads noted in 2023 and the worn front tyre in 2024 indicate that various consumable items may be nearing the end of their service life. A physical inspection of the wiper assembly and washer system is also required to ensure previous failures were fully rectified rather than just temporarily patched.
