2014 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · M3 LPN

This 2014 Volvo XC60 has a typical mileage profile for its age, suggesting regular use rather than extended periods of standing or excessive hard wear. However, the MOT history reveals a clear worsening trend in the vehicle's mechanical condition over the last three years. The most recent MOT in February 2026 passed, but it flagged several significant concerns. Most worrying is the presence of corroded brake pipes on the nearside rear and central sections. When combined with a severely deteriorated CV boot on the offside front drive shaft, these entries suggest a vehicle that is beginning to suffer from age-related degradation and a lack of preventative maintenance. There is a recurring pattern of suspension and linkage wear. Issues with rear suspension arm bushes have appeared consistently since 2024, and anti-roll bar linkage covers have been flagged for two consecutive years. This indicates that while the car passes its tests, the owner is likely doing the bare minimum to keep it roadworthy rather than replacing worn components proactively. The transition from a clean MOT in 2023 to multiple failures and a growing list of advisories by 2026 shows a decline in overall condition. A buyer should first inspect the brake pipes for visible corrosion and check the CV boots for splits.
