2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · DC66 HVF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing suspension and brake wear. The most recent test in January 2026 at 39,672 miles identified slight play in both the nearside and offside front suspension arm ball joints, alongside thinning inner front brake pads. This follows a failure in early 2025 for thin rear pads and worn discs, indicating that while the car is passing tests, consumable components are now reaching their replacement intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old Volvo, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 28,657 miles and January 2026 at 39,672 miles, the vehicle covered 11,015 miles. While low mileage suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and uneven tyre wear, which aligns with the structural failure of the offside rear tyre noted during the 2025 test. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the front geometry to assess the extent of the ball joint play flagged in January 2026. The recurring history of thin brake pads across 2024, 2025, and 2026 suggests the previous owner addressed brake issues only upon failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. Inspect the front brake discs for scoring or uneven wear, and ensure the tyres are not wearing prematurely, as the record shows a history of edge wear and structural sidewall damage.
