2015 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · YY65 ETD

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend regarding consumable components. While the 2025-10-21 test resulted in a pass, the tester flagged several significant advisories that indicate a lack of preventative upkeep. Specifically, the record shows worn and pitted front and rear brake discs, thinning front brake pads, and a severely deteriorated offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover. This follows a 2024-10-14 test where the rear brake pads were already noted as wearing thin, suggesting that braking components are being run to their limits rather than being replaced proactively. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The car has covered 129,868 miles, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 46,599 miles in September 2018 to the most recent 129,868 miles in October 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, though the frequency of minor failures and advisories has increased in the most recent two years compared to the clean record seen in 2023. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system. The recurring issues with pitted discs and thinning pads across multiple years suggest the owner may be reactive rather than proactive with maintenance. You should check the condition of the brake calipers for binding and ensure the discs are not heavily scored. The deterioration of the suspension ball joint dust cover in the latest test indicates that other rubber components, such as bushings and boots, may be nearing the end of their service life due to age and environmental exposure. The history also shows intermittent issues with windscreen damage and tyre management. The 2022 failure due to low tread depth and the 2020 failure involving structural tyre bulges suggest periods where basic tyre maintenance was neglected. Inspect the current tread depth and sidewall integrity of all four tyres, and check the windscreen for any new chips or cracks that might require replacement. Focus heavily on the suspension and braking hardware to ensure no further mechanical degradation is occurring.
