2012 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · SP12 XRW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026 with 30,521 miles. The maintenance trend appears relatively stable, though the record indicates a transition toward minor mechanical degradation. The March 2026 test identified a damaged nearside front track rod end ball joint dust cover. This is a minor advisory that did not prevent a pass but signals the beginning of rubber component perishing, likely due to age rather than heavy use. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old Volvo, averaging approximately 2,180 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the vehicle covered only 133 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary or very limited use. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the accelerated aging of rubber parts, seals, and brake components. The gap in usage between 2023 and 2025 highlights this pattern of intermittent operation. A buyer must pay close attention to the ABS failure recorded in February 2025 at 30,088 miles. Although the vehicle passed the following day, the initial failure of the ABS warning lamp suggests a sensor fault or electrical wiring issue that may recur if not fully diagnosed. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also inspect the brake discs for corrosion or sticking calipers caused by lack of use. The damaged track rod end dust cover necessitates a physical check of the front suspension bushings, as these components are prone to cracking when vehicles sit for extended periods.
