2014 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · KW63 BUA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a sharp decline in preventative maintenance. While the car maintained a clean record between 2022 and 2023, the October 2025 test at 117,195 miles revealed a critical failure due to illegal front tyre tread depths. The subsequent re-test nine miles later at 117,204 miles identified multipleんですよ and steering defects, suggesting that the owner neglected basic mechanical upkeep until a failure forced action. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of nearly 18,000 miles between September 2024 at 99,223 miles and October 2025 at 117,204 miles. This high-mile interval, combined with the sudden appearance of wear on rubber components noted in the latest test, indicates that the vehicle's undercarriage stress-points are likely reaching the end of their functional service life. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension and steering assembly. The 2025 record flagged four separate anti-roll bar linkage bushes and a nearside rear suspension arm bush, indicating widespread degradation of the rubber components. Additionally, the offside front track rod end dust cover is deteriorated, which allows moisture ingress and leads to premature ball joint failure. These recurring issues should be checked for play or audible knocking during a road test. The tester also noted that a child seat prevented a full inspection of the adult seat belt, meaning the integrity of the rear restraint system remains unverified. Given the previous failure for illegal tyres, the buyer should verify the age and quality of all tyres and inspect the discs and calipers, as the brake performance test was bypassed during the initial failure due to the poor condition of the rubber.
