2016 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · EU66 AOB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical record over the last three years. The most recent test in April 2025 at 83,550 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of consistent passes in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the owner has addressed potential minor issues before they escalated into MOT failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a decade-old Volvo, averaging approximately 8,350 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 13,609 miles between the May 2024 and April 2025 tests, which represents a higher annual average compared to the 5,169 miles covered in the preceding year. The brief failure in July 2023 at 64,789 miles, followed immediately by a pass one mile later, suggests a minor issue such as a blown bulb or a minor component adjustment was quickly rectified without indicating mechanical neglect. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components common to the XC60 at this mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue, as these often degrade before failing a test. Inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or heavy pitting, as the MOT only checks for functional efficiency rather than surface condition. The structural integrity of the underbody should also be verified to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed on the chassis since the last inspection.
