2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · N50 OJH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 at 120,348 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair followed by a recent stability. While the 2025 test was clean, the previous year revealed a pattern of neglecting critical consumables and lighting until a failed inspection, suggesting the previous owner only addressed faults once they triggered a test failure rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 120,348 miles over ten years, this XC60 has covered an average of approximately 12,000 miles per annum. This represents consistent high usage rather than long periods of standing. The data shows a significant spike in activity between August 2023 and August 2024, where the vehicle covered over 18,000 miles in just twelve months. This rapid mileage accumulation places significant stress on heavy-duty Volvo suspension components, which is reflected in the recurring wear issues noted in the MOT history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The 2023 test at 88,438 miles flagged a worn nearside rear trailing arm bush, and although it passed later, high-mileage Volvos often suffer from secondary wear in adjacent bushes and joints. The front brake discs were noted as worn in August 2024; while they did not cause a failure then, the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the calipers should be verified to ensure they are not nearing replacement. The history also highlights a lapse in tyre management. In 2023, four tyres showed perishing or bald edges, and by August 2024, cords were exposed on the rear tyres. This indicates the owner previously ran tyres until they reached structural failure points. Inspect the current tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity for cracking to ensure the current set is not nearing the end of its life, given the high mileage and previous pattern of neglect.
