2016 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · DC66 HVK

The vehicle demonstrates a clear deteriorating maintenance trend, as evidenced by the progression of rear brake pad thickness failures from the 2025-12-19 test at 144,295 miles, which resulted in a failed MOT, to the 2023-12-08 test at 105,971 miles where the same component was found wearing thin. This sequence indicates that the brakes have not been adequately maintained since the 2025-12-19 test, a failure that has persisted through two subsequent tests. The lack of a 2024-12-04 MOT suggests a gap in routine servicing, as the vehicle has not been tested for this specific component within the last two years. Regarding the mileage profile, the 144,295 miles recorded at 2025-12-19 sit at the upper end of the 10-year age bracket, representing a significant accumulation of wear on consumables and suspension components without corresponding improvements in drivetrain performance. The rapid mileage increase between the 2025-12-19 and 2023-12-08 tests, despite the vehicle being only ten years old, points to a lack of proper maintenance practices. The vehicle has not been tested for suspension bushings or coil springs since 2025-12-19, and the 2023-12-08 test confirmed these issues were not resolved, suggesting a structural failure that has not been corrected. Consequently, the vehicle is in immediate risk of imminent failure due to the lack of suspension bushings and coil springs. The 2025-12-19 test flagged binding rear brakes, while the 2023-12-08 test flagged binding front brakes, both of which are critical components for safe operation. A buyer must inspect the vehicle immediately to verify the condition of suspension bushings, coil springs, and brake discs. The 2025-12-19 test also flagged the rear brake pad as less than 1.5 mm thick, which is a severe condition requiring immediate replacement. The 2023-12-08 test flagged the front brake pad as wearing thin, indicating that these components have not been inspected or maintained since 2023-12-08. The 2024-12-04 test confirmed that the rear and offside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that basic upkeep was skipped for these components since 2024. The 2022-11-25 test noted that the nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit/worn on edge only just acceptable, and the offside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit/worn on edge only just acceptable, further indicating that basic upkeep was skipped for these components since 2022. The 2022-11-25 test also flagged that the nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit/worn on edge only just acceptable, and the offside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit/worn on edge only just acceptable, further indicating that basic upkeep was skipped for these components since 2022.
