2021 Volvo XC60 Inscript T6 Rcharge AWD A 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · YS 6269

The most recent MOT test on 2026-04-10 confirms this Volvo XC60 remains roadworthy at 87,598 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. The consistent pass status across all four tests—including the April 2024 retest—suggests no recurring mechanical failures that would indicate a pattern of neglect or unresolved issues. However, the absence of advisories in any test does not preclude hidden wear; the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means potential issues like suspension degradation or brake fade could have gone unaddressed between tests. The vehicle’s current MOT is valid for another eight months, but the high mileage accumulation demands thorough scrutiny of high-wear components. The recorded mileage of 87,598 miles over five years equates to approximately 17,500 miles annually, which is above the average for this class of vehicle. This rate of travel suggests significant use, accelerating wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components. Notably, the gap between the 2024 April failure and retest—both at the same mileage—implies either a minor oversight in the test process or that the vehicle was not driven between those dates. The subsequent 22,800 miles covered in under a year (from April 2024 to April 2025) further highlights the need for proactive maintenance, as such mileage can strain critical systems like brakes and exhaust emissions systems. Given the lack of advisories, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension geometry, particularly the rear trailing arms and bushings, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brake system warrants close examination for uneven wear or binding calipers, as hybrid vehicles like this often experience higher thermal stress. Corrosion checks are essential, especially around the wheel arches, subframe, and exhaust mounts, where salt ingress could compromise structural integrity. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound, so visual and functional testing—including a road test for alignment and handling—is imperative. The hybrid battery and cooling system should also be assessed for any fluid leaks or degradation, as these are less visible but critical to long-term reliability.
