2014 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · LL63 BEX

The most recent MOT on 12 March 2026 was passed with no recorded defects, and this clean result is consistent across the previous five annual tests dating back to March 2022. The uninterrupted succession of pass‑only outcomes suggests a stable maintenance regime, with no evidence of deteriorating components or recurring failures that would indicate a worsening trend. In the absence of advisories, the vehicle appears to have been kept in a condition that satisfies the DVSA’s safety and emissions criteria year on year. At 99,167 miles for a 2014 model, the average annual mileage works out at roughly 8,300 miles, which sits comfortably within the typical UK usage band for a vehicle of this age. The mileage record shows no large, unexplained jumps that would point to periods of intensive short‑term use, nor does it suggest prolonged inactivity that could lead to age‑related decay. Consequently, wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components should be proportional to the mileage rather than being accelerated by extreme usage patterns. For a vehicle of twelve years, the buyer should give particular attention to tyre condition, as sidewall cracking, dry rot and loss of tread depth can develop from calendar ageing even when mileage is modest. Inspect the tyres for any visible cracks, bulges or uneven wear that might indicate mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes. Verify that the 12‑volt battery is still within its service life; a load test or a check of the electrolyte level (if applicable) will reveal whether the battery has suffered from long periods of standing. Examine the under‑carriage for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches, suspension mounting points and exhaust system, as rust can progress silently in vehicles that have spent time idle. Finally, assess the brake system for any signs of disc corrosion, glazing or uneven pad wear, and confirm that the calipers move freely without binding. Check the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for any leakage, excessive play or clunking noises when the vehicle is driven over bumps. Since fluids degrade with time, it is prudent to inquire whether the engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and transmission fluid have been changed in accordance with Volvo’s service intervals, typically every 12 months or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. A full service history and recent fluid analysis will give the buyer confidence that the vehicle’s mechanical health matches its clean MOT record.
