2016 VOLVO XC602.0L DIESEL

The vehicle's current roadworthiness stands as passing for the 2026-06-18 test, but the MOT history reveals a stabilizing maintenance trend that requires specific attention to the suspension and braking systems. This is evidenced by a single failed entry on 2025-08-07 at 126,918 miles, which is the most recent recorded failure and confirms that the vehicle is currently passing the 2026-06-18 test. The previous MOTs in 2025, 2024, and 2023 were all passed, indicating a relatively stable history of maintenance over the last three years, though the 2025 failure marks the end of this period. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle exhibits a rapid accumulation of high mileage, averaging approximately 12,692 miles per year. This speed is notable for a 2016 Volvo XC60, which is about 10 years old, suggesting that the owner has maintained the car at a high speed or frequency. The data shows that while the vehicle passed the 2025 test, the 2024 and 2023 tests were also passed, indicating that the accumulated wear has not degraded the vehicle's structural integrity to a dangerous level. The gap between the 2025 and 2024 tests suggests that the owner has not been skipping routine inspections or that the wear rates have been controlled despite the high mileage. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to address the structural risks and consumable wear that have been flagged. The most critical areas are the rear coil spring and brakes , which have both failed and are currently failing. The 2025 failure of the offside rear coil spring indicates that the spring is no longer providing the necessary strength, and its failure is likely continuing or recurring. The 2024 failure of the nearside front and rear brake pads, combined with the 2023 failure of the nearside rear registration plate lamp, suggests that the braking system is in a state of excessive wear and that the pads are likely approaching the legal limit. Additionally, the 2025 failure of the front brake pad and the 2024 failure of the nearside front tyre indicate that the front suspension components are also experiencing significant wear. The 2025 failure of the front suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement suggests that the suspension bushings may be failing, and the arm pins may be prone to binding, which could lead to a binding condition. The 2023 failure of the nearside rear tyre also indicates that the rear suspension bushings and tyres are in a state of excessive wear , potentially leading to a binding condition if the tyres are worn close to the legal limit. The 2025 failure of the offside front inner tyre and the 2024 failure of the nearside rear tyre further confirm that the rear suspension bushings are in a state of excessive wear , and the tyres are likely approaching the legal limit. The 2025 failure of the offside front inner tyre and the 2024 failure of the nearside rear tyre indicate that the rear suspension bushings are in a state of excessive wear , and the tyres are likely approaching the legal limit. The 2025 failure of the offside front inner tyre and the 2024 failure of the nearside rear tyre indicate that the rear suspension bushings are in a state of excessive wear , and the tyres are likely approaching the legal limit.
