2018 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · KX68 OSC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in June 2025 at 56,098 miles identified thinning rear brake pads as an advisory. This follows a failure in June 2024 where the offside front brake pads were below the legal limit. While the vehicle consistently passes, the data suggests the owner only addresses mechanical components once they reach or approach a failure threshold. The average annual usage of approximately 7,000 miles is consistent with low-to-moderate driving for an eight-year-old Volvo. The mileage shows steady progression, with a 9,400-mile gap between June 2023 and 2024, and another 9,409 miles covered between 2024 and 2025. This regularity suggests a predictable wear pattern on the drivetrain and engine components, though the low mileage does not negate the degradation of rubber components or suspension bushings over time. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system, given the recurring issues with pad wear across multiple axles. The 2023 test noted uneven tyre wear on the rear axle, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Because the 2024 failure for a sidewall cut on the offside front tyre indicates potential damage from impacts, the buyer must verify the remaining tread depth and condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not mismatched or replaced in a non-consistent manner.
