2016 Volvo V60 2.4L Electric diesel · BL16 VMU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a concerning pattern regarding tyre wear and suspension alignment. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 162,090 miles, the car passed with advisories for both nearside and offside rear tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing inner edge wear. This follows a 2024 test where the front tyres were also flagged for similar edge wear, suggesting a persistent issue with the vehicle geometry or suspension components that has not been fully rectified. The car has covered significant mileage for its age, averaging approximately 16,200 miles per year over the last decade. Data shows consistent and rapid accumulation, with the vehicle travelling 18,216 miles between the September 2023 and September 2024 tests, and another 18,024 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. This high-mileage profile places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and braking system, necessitating a rigorous inspection schedule compared to lower-mileage examples of this model. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and steering assembly, as the recurring inner edge wear on multiple tyres strongly indicates misalignment and likely worn control arm bushes or failing ball joints. The nearside rear wheel bearing noted as noisy in 2024 at 144,066 miles should be checked for play or continued vibration, as such issues often go unnoticed. Given the high mileage and the failure in 2023 due to exposed cords on a tyre, the overall condition of the rubber-based components is critical to ensure the vehicle has been maintained correctly despite the heavy usage.
