2009 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · LS09 VJP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of recurring electronic and structural issues. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 122,346 miles passed without defects, the vehicle failed immediately prior due to a supplementary restraint system warning lamp fault. This indicates a critical safety component was addressed just before the passing result. The trend shows a reactive approach to repairs, as the engine management light and suspension issues noted in 2025 were only resolved after failing inspections. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 122,346 miles represents an average of approximately 7,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a premium SUV. The data shows consistent progress, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,000 miles leading into 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps preserve rubber components and mechanical seals. A buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as the MOT record consistently flagged corrosion on both the nearside and offside lower suspension arms across 2024 and 2025. Although these were not classified as seriously weakened at the time, the recurring nature of the advisory suggests ongoing oxidation that will eventually require replacement. The buyer should also verify the brake system, given that the rear discs were noted as worn in 2024. Furthermore, the recent failure related to the engine management light and the SRS warning lamp necessitates a diagnostic scan to ensure these electronic faults have been fully rectified and are not prone to returning.
