2013 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · T111 RDJ

The Volvo XC60 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a notably clean bill of health at its most recent MOT on 16 December 2025 at 96,769 miles, where the tester recorded zero defects. This is a significant improvement over the preceding years, which saw minor but recurring advisories. The vehicle has transitioned from a pattern of minor wear-related advisories to a fully compliant status, suggesting attentive upkeep in the recent past. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent and typical for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,444 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 62,695 miles in December 2021 to 96,769 miles in December 2025, with no anomalous gaps or sudden spikes in usage. This gradual accumulation indicates regular, consistent use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which can be beneficial for preventing issues like brake disc corrosion and tyre flat-spotting. Historically, the vehicle has required attention to consumable components, specifically front brake pads and an offside front tyre. The front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in the December 2022 test at 68,901 miles, and the offside front tyre was noted as worn close to the legal limit in the November 2024 test at 88,137 miles. These are routine wear items, and their replacement is expected at this mileage. The absence of any structural, suspension, or exhaust-related advisories across the entire history is a positive indicator of the vehicle's underlying integrity. A buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection, focusing on the condition of the braking system, including disc thickness and caliper operation, given the historical advisory on pad wear. The tyre wear pattern on the offside front should be closely examined to identify any potential alignment or suspension geometry issues, such as worn tracking or deteriorating suspension bushes, even though these were not formally flagged. A comprehensive underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly on the subframes and suspension mounting points, remains prudent for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
