2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · DP65 TWM

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently poor, as the tester flagged binding rear brakes and a front tyre that has been worn close to the legal limit in the September 2023 test. The maintenance trend is unstable, with a failure on the same axle in October 2026 suggesting that basic upkeep was skipped, likely leading to premature wear of the suspension bushings and coil springs. The vehicle is roughly 10 years old, meaning the mileage of 91,302 miles is very high, indicating that wear on consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and brake discs is expected to continue at a rapid rate over the next 10 years. The mileage accumulation is particularly concerning given that the vehicle was first tested in May 2026. The first MOT failure occurred on the same date, resulting in a significant loss of roadworthiness, whereas the second failure in October 2025 occurred on a different date but still within the same mileage range. This pattern of rapid mileage increase and failure on the same axle suggests that the vehicle was driven at high speeds or subjected to frequent hard braking, which are primary causes for these wear patterns. A buyer must inspect the vehicle immediately in person to identify the specific structural and mechanical risks. The most critical item is the binding rear brakes, which must be checked for binding calipers and brake discs for corrosion or damage, as these are the most likely sources of failure given the history. The front tyre must also be examined for ply or cords exposure and worn close to the legal limit, which will indicate a structural integrity issue that requires immediate replacement. Finally, the suspension bushings and coil springs should be inspected for wear, as the failure on the same axle in September 2023 confirms that the suspension system is not in good condition.
