2015 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · YT65 LRU

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 16 August 2025, confirming it remains roadworthy as of the most recent inspection. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of recurring neglect regarding consumable items, specifically tyres and braking components. While the vehicle passed its latest test, the presence of advisories for worn brake discs and uneven tyre wear indicates that the previous owner prioritised minimal compliance over proactive servicing. The vehicle is currently ten months past its last test date, meaning a new inspection will be required shortly to confirm its ongoing condition. With a total of 158,536 miles accumulated over eleven years, the Volvo averages approximately 14,400 miles per annum. This high-mileage usage profile is consistent across the recorded history, with a significant jump of roughly 18,000 miles between July 2023 and August 2024. Such consistent, heavy use suggests the vehicle has likely spent much of its life on motorways, which generally places less stress on the drivetrain than urban stop-start driving. However, the consistent accumulation of miles means that high-wear components like suspension bushes and wheel bearings will be reaching the end of their design life. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension and steering geometry, as the recurring advisories for tyres worn on the edge suggest a potential tracking or alignment issue that has gone unaddressed. The anti-roll bar linkage bushes noted in the 2025 test require immediate attention, as these will likely have degraded further during the last ten months of use. You should also inspect the thickness of the front brake discs, as the previous tester flagged them as worn. Ensure the vehicle does not pull to either side under braking and check for any knocking noises from the front end, which would confirm the need for suspension component replacement.
