2018 Volvo XC60 2.0L Petrol · S6 UAE

The 2018 Volvo XC60 presents a stable and largely improving mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass on 18 June 2025 at 67,805 miles with zero defects recorded. Earlier tests reveal minor, primarily consumable wear rather than escalating structural or mechanical failures. The transition from advisories in 2021 and 2024 to a completely clear test in 2025 suggests the previous owner addressed basic upkeep items promptly. Overall, the roadworthiness status is sound, reflecting a vehicle that has moved past its initial minor faults into a well-maintained phase. Covering approximately 8,476 miles annually, this XC60's usage sits squarely within typical parameters for its age. The record shows a distinct acceleration in recent use. Between 29 June 2022 and 13 July 2023, the vehicle covered roughly 17,871 miles, but the subsequent two testing intervals saw annual jumps of 14,109 miles and 19,399 miles respectively. There are no alarming gaps in the testing schedule that would suggest the car sat idle for extended periods, though the recent uptick in mileage indicates a shift from light local use to regular, longer-distance driving. Despite the clean 2025 result, a physical inspection must focus on the suspension and wheel alignment. The June 2024 test at 48,406 miles flagged both front tyres worn to the legal limit and wearing on the edges, alongside a nail puncture. Edge wear typically indicates misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes, issues that a simple tyre replacement will not resolve. The September 2021 test at 15,276 miles also noted light oil misting from the nearside rear shock absorber. While this did not escalate to a failure in subsequent tests, the dampers are now eight years old and have covered significant distance. A buyer should thoroughly inspect the shock absorber seals and damping performance, as well as checking the condition of the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for any deterioration. The recent high-mileage usage demands a close look at the brake discs and pads, alongside the condition of the exhaust system, to ensure these higher-mileage consumables haven't worn prematurely. Verifying the structural integrity of the undercarriage for corrosion is also prudent, given the increased use over the last two winters.
