2016 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · CW64 ALW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a clean pass recorded as of 9 July 2025 at 61,806 miles. This represents a significant improvement in the maintenance trend compared to previous years which were marked by multiple mechanical and consumable-related failures. While the history shows a period of neglect regarding basic upkeep, the most recent test suggests the current owner has finally addressed the outstanding technical issues identified in earlier inspections. At 61,806 miles over ten years, the XC60 has averaged approximately 6,180 miles annually, which aligns with typical low-use patterns for a premium SUV. The mileage intervals between tests are consistent, with only roughly 2,300 miles covered between December 2024 and July 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high stress, but it also correlates with the age-related degradation of rubber components which is clearly evident in the record. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension system, as the record highlights recurring issues with rubber components. The 2021 and 2022 tests flagged cracked linkage arm bushes and severely deteriorated ball joint dust covers. Although these appear to have been rectified, the low mileage often means these rubber parts are prone to dry rot and cracking regardless of tyre tread depth. Additionally, the 2021 advisory regarding front service brake imbalance warrants a check of the calipers and discs to ensure no persistent binding or uneven wear has returned since that report. The history also reveals a pattern of poor tyre management, specifically the December 2023 test where four tyres were flagged for perishing, damage, or extreme uneven wear. This indicates the vehicle may have sat for long periods, leading to sidewall cracking and misalignment-related wear. The buyer should inspect the damaged nearside front wheel arch liner noted in 2024 to ensure that moisture ingress has not allowed structural corrosion to develop on the inner wingwork, which is a common failure point on Volvos of this age.
