2009 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · NV09 EBF

The vehicle remains roadworthy having passed its most recent inspection in February 2026 at 93,621 miles. While the car consistently passes the test, the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding tyre health. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple advisories across all four tyres in the subsequent two years indicates a reactive maintenance approach where components are addressed only near failure rather than replaced proactively. At seventeen years old, the recorded mileage of 93,621 miles is significantly below the national average for a 2009 vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with a gap of only 2,431 miles between the February 2025 and 2026 tests. This low mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber-based components, which aligns with the recurring reports of perishing and cracking on the nearside tyre noted between 2022 and 2026. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, as the repeated edge wear on the front tyres suggests potential alignment issues or worn control arms and ball joints. The presence of perishing rubber sidewalls also suggests the vehicle may sit stationary for long periods, which can cause brake caliper seizures or seals to fail. Given the age and low usage, a check for corrosion on the chassis and subframe is essential to ensure structural integrity despite the clean passes.
