2017 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · P8 SVK

The December 2025 MOT at 74,357 miles passed, confirming that the Volvo XC60 remains roadworthy, though the near and offside rear brake discs exhibited wear in accordance with regulation 1.1.14 (a)(i). The preceding November 2025 test, also at 74,357 miles, failed solely on the in‑mirror side repeaters, while the brake wear remained unchanged, indicating that the mechanical condition has not deteriorated since the previous successful test. Earlier failures in 2022 and 2021 show recurring brake pad thinning and tyre damage, but no evidence of worsening structural or suspension faults, suggesting a stable maintenance trend overall. Mileage has risen from 33,082 miles in January 2020 to 74,357 miles by December 2025, an increase of 41,275 miles over 5.8 years, averaging 7,115 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2017 model. The most notable acceleration occurred between the December 2024 test at 55,150 miles and the November 2025 test at 74,357 miles, a gain of 19,207 miles in roughly eleven months, implying intensive use or long periods of standing followed by rapid mileage build‑up. Earlier records show a relatively clean progression from 31,362 miles in January 2020 to 44,442 miles by March 2022, with only minor gaps, indicating consistent annual usage without major odometer discrepancies. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear brake discs for excessive wear or scoring, verify that the brake pads are within service limits, and examine the side repeaters for proper illumination and wiring integrity. Particular attention must be paid to the condition of the rear tyres, which displayed outer‑wall cracking in 2024, and to the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of binding or corrosion, as these components have not been explicitly recorded but are common wear points at this mileage. Additionally, a visual assessment of the chassis for rust, especially around the wheel arches and subframes, and a check of the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks are advisable to confirm the vehicle’s long‑term structural integrity.
