2017 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · YY17 LGC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent MOT test on 9 June 2026 at 104,809 miles revealed advisories for an inoperative nearside rear number lamp and both front tyres reaching the legal limit. While the previous failure in 2025 was rectified, the recurring issues suggest the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they fail an official inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with an 8,000-mile interval between May 2023 and June 2024, and another 6,000-mile interval between June 2024 and May 2025. This regular accumulation suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which generally results in predictable wear on rubber components and mechanical assemblies like the suspension and braking system. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension, as the 2025 failure revealed two fractured rear coil springs at 99,833 miles. Given the high mileage and age of the Volvo, the remaining suspension bushes should be checked for cracking or perished rubber. The 2024 advisory regarding thin offside front inner brake pads indicates uneven brake wear, which often signals a sticking caliper or a mechanical bias that warrants physical inspection to ensure the discs are not scored or thinned. Furthermore, the front tyres currently require immediate replacement as they are worn on the edges, which may point to an alignment issue.
