2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · FN16 JZX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing suspension component wear. Following the most recent test in September 2025 at 74,328 miles, the tester identified slight play in both front track rod end ball joints and wear on the front suspension arm bushes. This represents a regression from the clean result in September 2024, indicating that components within the front-end geometry are now beginning to reach the end of their service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 51,841 miles in September 2022 to 60,456 miles in October 2023, and finally reaching 74,328 miles by the September 2025 test. This linear accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent rubber degradation and seized components associated with stationary vehicles. A buyer should prioritize a close physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the play in the track rods and arm bushes. While these were flagged in 2025, their deterioration can lead to steering precision issues and uneven tyre wear if not addressed. Additionally, the history shows a past of uneven tyre wear on the inner edges and pitted brake discs noted in 2023. Although these issues appeared resolved or rectified since, the buyer should verify the current condition of the rear brakes and check that the alignment is correct to prevent premature failure of any new tyres.
