2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · F22 KAB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension components and braking systems. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 74,393 miles passed, the tester flagged a nearside front track rod end with play and thin rear brake pads. These issues follow a pattern established in May 2025 with a worn offside rear suspension arm bush and a damaged dust cover, suggesting that the suspension assembly is beginning to show significant degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation from 43,393 miles in June 2022 to 74,393 miles in May 2026. This low annual usage suggests the car has not been subjected to high-distance motorway stress, yet the advisories for tyres reaching the legal limit in 2022 and 2025 indicate that basic preventative maintenance regarding uneven tyre wear may have been neglected between service intervals. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the play in the track rod ends and the condition of the trailing arm bushes. The recurring mentions of edge-worn tyres across multiple axles between 2022 and 2025 imply a wheel alignment check is necessary to prevent premature component failure. Additionally, the thin rear brake pads noted in the 2026 test require immediate attention to avoid damage to the rotors, as the previous owner has clearly allowed consumables to reach their wear limits.
