2010 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · SD60 UTU

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is currently failing due to a persistent deterioration of the rear lower suspension components, a trend that is stable with the most recent test in the September 2023 test at 52,000 miles where the tester flagged binding rear brakes and excessively worn suspension bushes. This history indicates that the buyer must inspect the rear suspension and wheel bearings immediately following the September 2023 test, as the condition of the bushes has not improved since then. The mileage accumulation has been relatively stable over the past three years, with the most recent test in March 2026 showing a record mileage of 162,554 miles. This figure is consistent with the vehicle's age of approximately 16 years, suggesting that the maintenance pattern has been maintained without the accumulation of significant wear on consumables or drivetrain parts. Given the recurring faults in the rear suspension and the stable mileage, the buyer should inspect the rear suspension and wheel bearings in person to determine if the condition of the bushes has improved since the September 2023 test. If the bushes remain excessively worn, the vehicle may require a full suspension check for the next MOT.
