2017 Volvo XC60 2.0L Petrol · N8 RLP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from pristine records to reactive mechanical repairs. The most recent test in October 2025 at 54,161 miles resulted in a pass despite identifying perished front bottom arm bushes. While the installation of plastic undertrays suggests some preventative measures, the failure of these bushes indicates that suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their service life, moving away from the clean sheets seen in previous years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage profile, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between September 2022 at 29,811 miles and October 2023 at 37,538 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 7,700 miles with no recorded defects. The more recent interval of 8,009 miles between October 2024 and October 2025 shows a slight increase in usage. This low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age despite the low distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension to ensure the perished bushes were replaced with high-quality parts and not merely patched. The 2021 advisory regarding a worn nearside front tyre suggests a history of alignment issues or neglected pressure, which should be checked against against the current tyre set. Given the age of the vehicle and the recent discovery of perished rubber, a thorough check of coil spring integrity and shock bushings is essential, as low-mileage cars often mask the reality of components nearing the end of their functional lifespan.
