2015 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · VE65 YUG

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test in November 2025. However, the maintenance trend reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The failure just one day prior to the passing test at 121,286 miles highlighted significant neglect, including a structural failure in the nearside front tyre, a worn offside front tyre, and an inoperative plate lamp. While these were rectified immediately to secure the pass, the recurring issues suggest the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach a failure threshold. At 121,288 miles over 11 years, the XC60 averages approximately 11,000 miles per annum, which aligns with national averages for a premium family SUV. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 13,000 miles covered between December 2023 and November 2024, and another 13,000 miles between December 2024 and November 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which generally prevents issues associated with long periods of standing or seizing. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as the record shows a history of uneven wear. The 2024 test flagged thin pads on both front and rear axles, while the 2023 test noted multiple tyres bald on the outer edges with sidewall cuts. These symptoms often point to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that accelerate tyre degradation. Given the recent structural failure of a tyre, a thorough physical check of the remaining rubber and the wheel bearings is essential to ensure no hidden damage remains present.
