2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · CL04 ROM

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 17 March 2026. The overall maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the DVSA records show a consistent pattern of passes over the last three years. While there are instances of initial failures on the same day as the pass, the absence of recorded defects suggests these were either minor administrative issues or quickly rectified faults. The lack of recurring advisories indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard of roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 104,731 miles over approximately ten years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 10,473 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for a premium SUV of this era, suggesting a balanced mix of urban and motorway driving. This level of mileage means that while the vehicle has avoided the risks associated with long periods of standing, it has entered a phase where wear on major consumables and drivetrain components becomes a primary consideration for a prospective owner. Since the MOT history is remarkably clean and devoid of advisories, the focus must shift to age-related degradation and preventative maintenance. A physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the tyre sidewalls to check for perishing or ozone cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. The buyer should also examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, which can occur even in regularly used vehicles if the braking system is not exercised vigorously. Attention should be paid to the service history to verify that calendar-based fluid changes have been performed, specifically the engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid, as these degrade chemically over time. During a test drive, listen for any subtle clunks from the suspension bushes or coil springs, which are common wear items on a Volvo XC60 of this age and mileage. Finally, the health of the 12V battery should be verified, as these components typically require replacement every five to six years to ensure reliable starting and electronic stability.
