2013 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · YY13 WDO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in February 2026 at 119,768 miles. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care, as the owner consistently addresses faults only after an MOT failure. The most recent test on February 19, 2026, saw an initial failure due to a fractured offside front coil spring and inoperative registration plate lamps. While these issues were rectified for the pass, the pattern suggests that components are only replaced once they reach a point of failure. The mileage profile is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between February 2024 at 101,394 miles and February 2025 at 110,701 miles, the car covered 9,307 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The subsequent 9,067 miles recorded between the February 2025 and 2026 tests maintain this trend. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and mechanical components, though it does accelerate the wear of suspension and braking hardware. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the record notes play in the steering rack inner joints in early 2024 and a broken coil spring in early 2026. These indicate that the rubber-bound components and springs are nearing the end of their functional life. The brake history also flags thin rear brake pads in 2025, so the buyer should verify the remaining life on all brake components and discs. Given the age and mileage, a check for corrosion on the chassis and exhaust mounting points is essential to ensure no structural degradation is present beyond what the MOT testers typically highlight.
