2011 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · YR61 ACZ

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-10-22 MOT at 135,531 miles recording no defects. All prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, despite a duplicated 2022 entry showing a failed test with no recorded defects. This suggests either a data anomaly or a minor technical failure that was resolved before the subsequent pass. The absence of structural, braking, or emission-related faults in all tests indicates consistent maintenance practices. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging 9,035 miles annually. The 2022-10-25 test at 117,803 miles shows no gaps in service intervals, with steady annual increases of 5,000–8,000 miles. The 2025 test at 135,531 miles confirms no sudden wear patterns, though the car’s age necessitates scrutiny of high-mileage components. The MOT history lacks entries for tyre tread, wiper blades, or fluid levels, which are standard consumables, implying potential oversight in routine checks. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common wear points in older Volvos, and check for corrosion in the exhaust system or underbody. The absence of brake-related defects in tests does not eliminate the need for a physical inspection of calipers, discs, and brake lines, as hidden wear can develop. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or panel damage may not appear in MOT records. Overall, the vehicle’s MOT history reflects reliable upkeep but does not replace a detailed pre-purchase examination.
