2009 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · LS59 WKA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history indicates a clear deterioration trend in suspension components, specifically the front and rear suspension bushes, which have been failing repeatedly over the last three years. This pattern suggests that basic upkeep was likely skipped during the ownership period, leading to accelerated wear on these critical structural elements. The mileage accumulation is significant, with a gap of approximately 10,000 miles in 2023 between the September 2023 test and the October 2024 test. This interval represents a substantial increase in operational hours and a potential acceleration of wear on the suspension bushings, which are prone to binding and failure under heavy load. Given the recurring faults in suspension bushings and the lack of improvement in performance, the vehicle is not suitable for normal driving or long-distance travel without major intervention. The lack of any structural integrity issues or corrosion in the drivetrain or exhaust suggests that mechanical risks are not present, but the suspension problems pose a high risk of sudden failure requiring immediate professional assessment.
