Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2020 Volvo Xc60 Inscrp Pro T8rechrg AWD A?

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2020 Volvo Xc60 Inscrp Pro T8rechrg AWD A?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.
