2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · FM16 CUV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed the test in November 2025 at 83,750 miles, it initially failed the inspection due to a fractured nearside coil spring and an insecure offside front track rod end dust cover. The fact that these mechanical components were only addressed after a failure suggests the owner may have neglected suspension wear and tear items until they reached a point of legal jeopardy. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,375 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 74,510 miles and the 2025 test at 83,750 miles, the car covered 9,240 miles in just thirteen months, which represents a standard usage profile. There is no evidence of long-term stationary periods which can often lead to rubber degradation or brake corrosion, but the consistent mileage puts steady demand on age-related components like suspension bushings and braking systems. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry and braking components. The November 2025 record flagged three tyres worn close to the legal limit, with the nearside rear at just 1.91mm, indicating uneven wear that could stem from alignment issues. Furthermore, the 2023 advisory for thin brake pads at 66,328 miles suggests the braking system is nearing frequent replacement intervals. You must check for any signs of fluid leaks around the shock absorbers and ensure the previously fractured coil spring and track rod end were replaced with quality parts to prevent further structural instability in the steering assembly.
