2022 Volvo XC60 Inscription B4 Mhev AWD A 2.0L Electric diesel · OV22 DKK

A recurring pattern of tyre degradation and sidewall damage defines the roadworthiness history of this vehicle, specifically concerning the nearside rear tyre which has caused failures in two consecutive years. While the vehicle achieved a clean pass on 17 April 2026, this followed a failure for a deep cut reaching the ply or cords, mirroring a dangerous failure for exposed ply in April 2025. Aside from these tyre-specific defects, the mechanical record remains devoid of structural, braking, or drivetrain failures, suggesting a generally stable platform despite the repeated issues with tyre integrity. With 24,893 miles recorded over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged around 6,223 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a premium SUV of this age, meaning the drivetrain and suspension components have likely experienced standard wear and tear without the extremes of high-mileage degradation or the risks associated with prolonged stagnation. The consistency in mileage suggests the vehicle has been in regular use, which generally supports the health of the mild-hybrid electrical system and all-wheel-drive components. Given the history of repeated tyre failures and previous advisories for wear on the edges of the front tyres, a thorough inspection of the current tread depths and sidewall condition is essential. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering alignment; any pull to one side or vibration through the steering wheel could indicate that the previous tyre wear was caused by incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. Ensure there is no abnormal road noise or humming, which could point to uneven tyre wear patterns or wheel bearing wear. As this is an AWD MHEV model, the test drive should also focus on the seamlessness of the power delivery and the engagement of the all-wheel-drive system. Listen for any unusual clunks or hesitations during low-speed manoeuvres or under acceleration. While no brake or suspension defects have been flagged in the DVSA records, checking for pedal firmness and the absence of judder during braking will confirm that the braking system remains in line with the vehicle's overall clean mechanical record.
