AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

A generally stable record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, despite a failure in December 2023 caused by a missing brake pedal anti-slip provision. This specific defect was rectified on the same day, and the subsequent testing trend has been positive, culminating in a clean pass on 26 May 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. The recorded mileage of 85,660 miles over approximately ten years reflects an average annual accumulation of roughly 8,566 miles. This usage profile is typical for the vehicle's age, suggesting a balanced application of the engine, transmission, and chassis components without the accelerated wear seen in high-mileage examples or the stagnation risks associated with long-term storage. Attention should be paid to the tyres and braking system based on previous test data. The records from 2023 and 2024 repeatedly flagged the nearside and offside rear tyres as cracking or perishing, though these advisories were absent in the 2025 and 2026 tests. While the issues appear resolved, a physical inspection of the current tyre sidewalls is advised to ensure the replacements are in good condition. Furthermore, the 2023 record noted that both front brake pads were wearing thin, indicating a period of standard consumable wear. On a test drive, the buyer should evaluate the braking system for any pedal judder or steering pull, which could indicate warped discs or binding calipers. It is also necessary to confirm that the brake pedal anti-slip provision is now firmly in place and provides a secure grip. Listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension during cornering or over uneven surfaces, as components like suspension bushes and coil springs typically show wear at this mileage.

Our Verdict

A recommended purchase for those seeking

Focus on verifying the service history for the 2.4L diesel engine, specifically looking for evidence of regular oil changes. Given the December 2023 MOT failure for brake pads and perishing rear tyres, check for receipts confirming these consumables were replaced with quality parts. Ensure the brake pedal anti-slip provision, which caused a failure in 2023, has been permanently rectified.

Negotiate based on the age of the current tyres and brakes, as these were highlighted as weak points in the 2023 and 2024 records. Check for any evidence of recent work that aligns with the removal of the advisories seen in the 2024 test.

The 2.4L diesel engine is designed for efficiency over long distances, though it will attract a higher annual road tax than smaller engine variants. Insurance groups for the XC60 are typically mid-to-high, reflecting its premium positioning and engine capacity.

Maintenance costs for this model can be higher than average due to the cost of genuine Volvo parts. Expect higher expenditure on tyres and brakes given the weight of the vehicle and the history of wear seen in the MOT records.

Carefully inspect all four tyres, specifically looking for cracking or perishing on the rear axle, as this was a recurring advisory in 2023 and 2024. Check the brake pad thickness and the condition of the brake pedal, referencing the failure recorded in December 2023.

Additionally, inspect the coil springs for signs of corrosion or fractures, as these are listed as a top failure reason across the wider XC60 population. Check for any fluid leaks around the engine bay, typical for a diesel of this age and mileage.

This grey 2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L diesel has covered 85,660 miles, which is slightly below the model's average annual mileage. While it experienced one MOT failure in December 2023 due to worn brake pads and tyre issues, the two most recent tests in 2025 and 2026 were passed without any defects recorded.

The XC60 demonstrates a respectable average MOT pass rate of 84.6% across a large sample of 94,049 vehicles.
