2013 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · KT13 WGG

The most recent MOT on 22 July 2025 was a PASS at 70,539 miles, but it follows a failure recorded just a day earlier (21 July 2025) for two fractured coil springs – nearside front and offside rear. This is the only defect shown in the six‑year MOT record. The pattern is clear: the vehicle has developed a serious suspension issue that was only identified in the latest test. Prior to 2025 the MOTs were clean, so the risk of further hidden faults appears to have increased rather than stayed stable. At roughly 5,400 miles per year, the 70,539 mile reading is low for a 13‑year‑old Volvo. Low mileage can mean lighter use, but it can also indicate long periods of inactivity, which can contribute to corrosion or fatigue in suspension components. The mileage alone does not reveal hard use, so the implication for wear is ambiguous. For a buyer, the priority is a thorough visual and tactile inspection of the suspension. Check the condition of all coil springs, shock absorbers, and mounting points for cracks, rust or signs of repair. Verify that the springs have been replaced or are in good condition, and have a qualified mechanic confirm the integrity of the front and rear suspension geometry.
