2015 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · YY64 VMZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 with 81,808 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a marked improvement following a significant failure in early 2023. While the car previously suffered from multiple mechanical and safety failures, the subsequent passes indicate that the owner addressed the critical issues, resulting in a clean test sheet as of the latest inspection. At 81,808 miles over 11 years, the XC60 averages approximately 7,400 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage patterns for a premium SUV. The record shows consistent annual intervals, with roughly 8,600 miles covered between February 2025 and January 2026, and approximately 8,200 miles in the year prior. This mileage regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally helps the integrity of rubber components and prevents the braking system from seizing. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and steering components. The February 2025 test flagged damaged track rod end ball joint dust covers on both sides. While these did not cause a failure at that time, they represent the beginning of wear that can lead to premature ball joint failure if not replaced. The 2023 failure regarding a loose rear suspension level control lever requires a physical inspection to ensure the complex air or hydraulic suspension components remain secure and free of leaks or play. The braking system history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance. The February 2023 failure noted thin rear pads and worn rear discs, followed by a 2024 advisory for thin front pads. Given that these are consumable items, the buyer should verify the remaining life of the current brake pads and check the discs for glazing or uneven wear, ensuring the previous replacements were performed to high standards. The history of tyre issues in 2023, including exposed cords and uneven wear, also suggests that wheel alignment should be verified to prevent further premature scrubbing of the tyres.
