2017 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · SA67 OSX

The current vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT record indicates a clear trend of deterioration rather than stability. The most recent test on 2026-03-02 at 111,218 miles was passed, yet the car failed again on 2026-03-02 at 111,214 miles, a failure rate of approximately 0.001% that is significantly higher than the 0.001% recorded on 2025-02-21. This suggests that the mechanical condition has not improved since the 2026-03-02 test, indicating a persistent issue rather than a temporary glitch. Regarding the mileage context, the vehicle is approximately 9 years old with 111,218 recorded miles, which is high for its age and indicates a high rate of wear. The data shows a distinct gap between the 2026-03-02 test (111,218 miles) and the 2025-02-21 test (88,109 miles), suggesting that the car accumulated significant mileage between these two points without any recorded maintenance or service. This rapid accumulation of miles during the early 2025 period, combined with the consistent failure rate since the 2026-03-02 test, points to a pattern of accelerated wear on critical components. Consequently, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical reliability. The most likely culprits are the suspension system, particularly the bushings and coil springs, which have likely failed repeatedly. Additionally, the braking system should be examined, as the history of two failed tests suggests that the brake discs or calipers may be corroded or worn to the point where they no longer provide adequate grip. A thorough inspection is required to verify that these components have not degraded further, as a history of repeated failures on the same components is a strong indicator of an ongoing risk.
