2018 Volvo XC60 Inscription D4 AWD Auto 2.0L Heavy oil · LP68 SWU

This Volvo XC60 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories recorded across three consecutive tests, most recently passing on 28 February 2025 at 48,858 miles. The absence of any recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, if not rigorous, maintenance during its ownership. The most recent test confirms the car remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the 15-month gap since the last inspection means some components—particularly suspension bushes, brake pads, and tyre tread—will have experienced further wear. No advisory notes imply deferred repairs, but the lack of pre-MOT inspections or service records means critical items like differential fluid, timing belt (if applicable), or exhaust system corrosion cannot be confirmed as up-to-date. The recorded mileage of 48,858 miles over approximately eight years aligns with typical usage patterns for this model, averaging around 6,100 miles annually. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity to suggest neglect or extended storage, though the 12-month gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests (covering 12,425 miles) is longer than the standard 12-month MOT interval. This could indicate either a delayed test or a period of lower mileage, though no advisories during those tests would rule out deferred maintenance. The most recent mileage reading, taken at the 2025 test, appears accurate and consistent with the vehicle’s age. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items not covered by the test. The suspension—particularly rear coil springs and bushes—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as AWD vehicles often stress these components. Brake discs and calipers warrant scrutiny, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively, as binding calipers or uneven wear could indicate past neglect. Tyre tread depth, while not flagged in MOTs, may have degraded since the last test, and the condition of the alloy wheels for corrosion or cracks should be verified. Finally, the underbody should be inspected for signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the sills, subframe, and exhaust system, as this model is prone to rust in wet climates. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are free from deterioration.
