2017 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · LA17 VNF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of neglected tyre management and alignment. The most recent test in August 2025 at 71,692 miles flagged multiple front tyre issues, including premature wear on the inner edges and physical cuts. While the vehicle passed, the recurring nature of inner edge wear across several years suggests a persistent issue with the vehicle geometry or worn suspension components that has not been professionally addressed by the previous owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 16,169 miles between September 2022 and September 2023, followed by another 13,702-mile interval in the following year. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods. However, the failure in August 2024 due to perishing and deep cuts on rear tyres indicates that consumables were only replaced once they reached a point of legal failure during annual inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to identify worn bushes or bent struts causing the inner tyre wear noted in 2023 and 2025. The current state of all tyres should be checked for further sidew cracking, as the history shows a pattern of ignoring rubber degradation. Additionally, the deteriorated registration plate noted in the 2025 test requires replacement to ensure legal compliance. While no structural corrosion or brake defects have appeared yet, the reactive approach to tyre maintenance suggests that other preventative mechanical tasks may have been overlooked.
