2016 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · AJ65 BWN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding the braking system. The most recent test in February 2025 at 73,635 miles flagged the rear brake pads as being down to 2mm and noted wear on both rear discs. While the car passed with a clean sheet in 2024, this indicates that the braking hardware is now reaching the end of its effective life and requires immediate attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between February 2021 at 47,137 miles and February 2025 at 73,635 miles, the car covered 26,498 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized calipers or perished seals. The clean 2022 and 2024 records suggest the vehicle was generally well-maintained during those intervals. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the rear braking system to determine if the discs require replacement beyond simple pad changes. Given the advisory for thin pads and worn discs in 2025, following a report of thin front pads in 2021, the owner appears to be stretching brake service between intervals. The buyer should also check the condition of the suspension bushes and control arms, as the MOT record does not flag these yet, but they are common points of failure on the XC60 at this mileage.
