2019 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · MM68 OSN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in May 2023 at 79,702 miles identified rear brake pads as wearing thin, with inner pads reaching a critical 2mm thickness. This follows a pattern where components are only addressed once they approach or exceed failure limits, suggesting the previous owner prioritised MOT compliance over scheduled preventative service intervals. The mileage progression is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 22,485 miles recorded between the June 2022 test and the May 2023 test. This represents high annual usage which naturally accelerates the wear on braking components and suspension hardware. Since the last recorded MOT in mid-2023, the vehicle has gone three years without an official certification, making the current state of these mechanical components unknown and speculative. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system due to recurring issues. The June 2022 failure for all front brake pads being below 1.5mm, alongside a scored offside rear disc, highlights that the braking assembly is prone to significant wear. You should check for uneven pad thickness across the axles and inspect the calipers for judisation or sticking pistons. Given the mileage of nearly 80,000 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs should also be examined for tearing or fatigue, as these components often degrade at this age and interval.
