2015 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · T44 SAS

The 2025‑09‑22 MOT at 68,207 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester recorded front and rear brake pads wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) and both rear tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edges (5.2.3 (e)). This follows a series of tests where tyre wear and brake pad degradation have recurred, indicating a maintenance trend that is neither improving nor stabilising. Mileage has risen steadily from 24,754 miles in the 2018 test to 68,207 miles in the 2025 test, averaging roughly 6,200 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 2015 model. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, as the intervals between tests average one year and the odometer readings increase consistently. Recurring faults point to components that a buyer should examine closely: the suspension arm pins and trailing‑arm bushes were flagged as excessively worn in the 2022‑10‑03 failure, and the 2020‑02‑21 test noted a fractured near‑side front coil spring. Brake pad wear appears in the 2020‑02‑21 and 2025‑09‑22 tests, suggesting the braking system may be approaching the limit of serviceable life, while the persistent edge wear on rear tyres hints at possible alignment or suspension issues that merit on‑site verification. Although the vehicle passed the latest inspection, the presence of advisories on brake pads and tyre tread, together with historic suspension and structural concerns such as the obscured engine covers and undertrays in the 2018 test, means a prospective buyer should conduct a detailed visual and functional inspection of the suspension geometry, brake disc condition, tyre wear patterns, and any signs of rust or structural damage before committing to purchase.
