2021 Volvo XC60 Momentum B5 Mhev Auto 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · SP71 LBG

The most recent MOT, carried out on 28 November 2025, was passed with no recorded defects, following a similarly clean pass on 29 November 2024. This uninterrupted record of fault‑free examinations suggests a stable maintenance regime, with no emerging mechanical issues evident from the DVSA inspections over the past two years. At five years old the Volvo XC60 records 30 670 miles, equating to roughly 6 100 miles per annum. This figure sits comfortably within the typical UK usage band for a family SUV and indicates that the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive high‑speed or heavy‑load duty. The relatively modest annual mileage also implies that wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyre tread, and suspension components should be moderate, provided the car has not spent prolonged periods idle. Given the clean MOT history and modest mileage, a prospective buyer should focus on age‑related checks rather than mileage‑driven wear. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot, or any signs of perishing, as rubber can deteriorate after six years regardless of tread depth. Verify the condition of the 12‑volt battery, ensuring it holds charge and shows no corrosion on terminals, since batteries can lose capacity after a few years of intermittent use. Examine the brake discs for surface rust or uneven wear, and confirm that the calipers move freely without binding – a common issue on vehicles that sit for extended periods. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for any creaking or looseness, and look for any fluid leaks around the front and rear sub‑frames, particularly from the power‑assist steering pump and the mild‑hybrid battery cooling circuit. Finally, request a full service book and confirm that the manufacturer‑recommended calendar‑based fluid changes – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and the hybrid system coolant – have been performed at the appropriate intervals. A visual inspection of the exhaust system for corrosion or cracks, and a brief test‑drive listening for any clunk, hum or vibration, will help confirm that the vehicle’s structural integrity and drivetrain remain sound. If these checks are satisfactory, the XC60’s low mileage and clean MOT suggest it is a mechanically sound candidate for purchase.
