2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · FL16 VLC

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass on 24 June 2025 at 61,971 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend after a period of significant mechanical failure in mid-2024. While the car previously struggled with electrical and braking issues, the absence of defects in the most recent test suggests that the identified faults were addressed and the vehicle is currently operating within legal parameters. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, moving from 40,813 miles in June 2022 to 61,971 miles in June 2025. This low-usage profile generally suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine, though the intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and fluid quality, as seen with the perishing offside rear tyre noted in the 2022 test. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as uneven tyre wear was flagged in three consecutive tests between 2022, 2023, and 2024. The wear on the nearside front lower suspension arm bush identified in 2023 indicates that the alignment may require adjustment or component replacement to prevent premature tyre failure. Furthermore, the 2024 failure involving the offside rear speed wheel sensor and general battery voltage issues suggests the electrical system has been prone to faults; the buyer should verify that the ABS warning lamp remains extinguished and that the TPMS system is fully functional. Brake components show a history of surface corrosion and wear consistent with low annual mileage. The buyer should check the current condition of the front brake discs and pads, as the record noted thinning pads and inner disc corrosion as recently as June 2023. Given the low mileage, there is a risk of caliper seizing or disc rust if the vehicle sat for extended periods, which should be tested during a physical road drive.
