2012 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · SG12 DFF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass during its most recent inspection. The test conducted in November 2025 at 138,818 miles recorded no defects, suggesting that previous mechanical and wear-related issues have been addressed. While the history shows a pattern of reactive maintenance regarding consumables, the absence of advisories in the latest test indicates the car is currently being maintained to a functional standard. The mileage progression is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between December 2016 and May 2018, during which the car covered roughly 8,000 miles. Since early 2019, the usage has remained steady, with approximately 16,000 miles covered between the most recent annual tests. This regular accumulation suggests typical road use, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and mechanical components compared to long periods of remaining stationary. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension geometry due to recurring reports of inner-edge tyre wear. In 2020, 2023, and 2024, the tester flagged tyres worn on the inner edges or near the legal limit. This trend indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes and components that require a professional inspection to prevent premature tyre replacement. The oil leak noted in 2019 should also be visually inspected to ensure it has not developed into a more significant fault as the mileage has increased. The braking system shows a history of reaching critical limits, including a failure in 2015 for thin front pads and an advisory in 2020. These recurring faults suggest the owner tends to replace components only when they reach failure thresholds. A physical inspection should verify the current thickness of the brake discs and pads and check for uneven wear or binding calipers, which are common on vehicles of this age and mileage.
