2014 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · KV14 ADX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-27 at 96,647 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The prior test on 2026-02-20 at 96,531 miles showed a fail, though no specific defects were noted. This suggests either a procedural error or a minor issue resolved between tests. Subsequent tests from 2023 to 2025 consistently passed with no defects, implying the car has met regulatory standards over the past three years. The lack of recurring mechanical issues in the record points to generally adequate upkeep, though the February 2026 fail warrants scrutiny for potential unresolved concerns. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging ~8,054 miles annually. The 2023-02-06 test at 77,298 miles to 2025-02-19 at 87,758 miles reflects a 10,460-mile increase over 22 months, followed by a 9,183-mile rise to 96,647 miles by 2026-02-27. This pattern suggests consistent use without prolonged inactivity, though the 2025-2026 gap of 12 months without an MOT is unusual. The absence of defects in all but the February 2026 test indicates no systemic mechanical decline, though the fail’s unexplained nature leaves room for caution. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to wear in older Volvos. The exhaust system and brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear. While no structural rust or emission issues were flagged, the lack of detailed defect reports in the MOT history means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition. The absence of recurring faults is reassuring, but the February 2026 fail underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase check.
