2017 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · VK67 APU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive component replacement. The most recent test in July 2025 at 58,355 miles identified thinning rear brake pads and pitted or scored rear brake discs. While the vehicle passed, these advisories indicate that the braking system is reaching the end of its service life, marking a departure from the clean record seen in early 2022. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 15,242 miles between February 2022 and August 2024, followed by another 11,590 miles between August 2024 and July 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly, but the interval between tyre-related failures in both 2021 and 2024 suggests that basic consumables are only addressed during MOT inspections rather than scheduled service intervals. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking assembly to ensure the pitting on the discs has not progressed into structural corrosion that affects braking performance. The history of nearsside front tyres wearing unevenly or reaching the legal limit warrants a check for wheel alignment issues or worn suspension bushings. Additionally, given the age of the Volvo relative to the relatively low mileage, the condition of rubber components and fluid seals should be verified, as these parts can perish over time regardless of the distance driven.
