2016 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · DP16 CVZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT pass in January 2026, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it consistently passes tests, the record reveals a history of addressing faults only when they reach inspection thresholds. The recurring oil leak noted in both 2023 and 2025 suggests a persistent slow leak that the owner has opted not to rectify, despite it being classified as not excessive at the time. At 100,209 miles after ten years, this XC60 has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The usage pattern appears consistent across the years, with a gap of 11,967 miles between August 2021 and August 2022, and a more recent interval of 5,740 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which generally benefits the engine seals and mechanical components. A buyer must physically inspect the engine bay for the source of the ongoing oil leak flagged in the 2023 and 2025 tests, as persistent leaks can lead to degraded rubber components or catalytic converter damage. The January 2026 test identified front tyres worn to the edges on both sides, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require professional attention. Given the 2022 report of pitted and scored brake discs on both front and rear axles, the current thickness and condition of the pads and rotors should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their functional life.
