2015 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · ST64 WML

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 17 November 2025 with no defects recorded. However, a review of the historical data reveals a reactive maintenance trend rather than a proactive one. The vehicle has a recurring pattern of failing on critical safety items, specifically tyre tread depth and lighting, often only being rectified upon the mandatory annual inspection. The frequency of failures related to basic consumables suggests that the previous owner may have neglected routine preventative maintenance, which increases the likelihood of other wear-and-tear components being overdue for replacement. With a recorded mileage of 103,220 miles over approximately eleven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 9,384 miles per year. This usage rate is typical for a family SUV of this age and suggests a consistent pattern of use rather than prolonged periods of standing. At this mileage threshold, the drivetrain and chassis are entering a phase where major consumables and suspension components naturally reach the end of their service life, making the history of suspension and brake advisories particularly relevant to the current mechanical state. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre condition and wheel alignment. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn unevenly on the edges. During a test drive, listen for abnormal road noise and check for any pulling or drifting in the steering, as the history of edge wear and previous track rod end replacements suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension geometry. Ensure the current tyres have ample tread and consistent wear across the width of the tyre to confirm that the alignment has been properly corrected. Further inspection is required regarding the chassis and braking system. The record indicates previous failures for a fractured rear coil spring and excessive play in the front track rod ends, alongside advisories for deteriorated rear anti-roll bar D bushes. Listen for clunks or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces or during low-speed manoeuvring. Additionally, as the rear brake discs were previously noted as pitted and scored, check for brake shudder or uneven pedal feel. Finally, verify that the fuel filter leak identified in 2024 was professionally repaired and that there are no residual fuel stains or smells around the fuel system components.
