2021 Volvo XC60 R-Design B4 Mhev AWD Auto 2.0L Electric diesel · PC60 PMC

The most recent MOT test conducted on 5 March 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable and improving maintenance trend, particularly as the previous advisory from September 2024 regarding worn, pitted, or scored front brake discs has been resolved. The absence of current faults suggests the vehicle is currently meeting the required roadworthiness standards and that the owner has addressed previous wear items. With a recorded mileage of 53,639 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 10,728 miles per year. This usage rate is typical for this class of vehicle and suggests a consistent operational history. Such mileage is generally ideal as it avoids the degradation associated with long periods of inactivity, such as binding calipers or perished seals, while remaining below the threshold where major drivetrain or suspension overhaul is typically required. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the consumables. Given the previous advisory on the front brake discs, it is advisable to verify that new discs and pads were fitted rather than simply cleaned. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic pulsing through the brake pedal or steering wheel, which could indicate warping. Additionally, examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or ozone cracking, and ensure the tread depth is consistent across both axles to rule out misalignment or worn suspension bushes. Particular attention should be paid to the mild hybrid system and general fluid health. Ensure the 12V battery is holding a strong charge and that the stop-start transitions are seamless. Review the service history to confirm that oil changes and calendar-based fluid replacements, such as brake fluid and coolant, have been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule. Finally, inspect the underbody for any signs of surface corrosion and check the condition of the coil springs for any fractures, which can occasionally occur on heavier AWD SUVs of this age.
