2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · HG16 FHB

The Volvo XC60 passed its most recent MOT on 25 June 2026 at 132 730 miles with no recorded defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The immediate preceding failure on 24 June 2026 at 132 726 miles due to a nearside front tyre lump (5.2.3 (d)(ii)) was rectified within 24 hours, indicating a stable to improving maintenance trend. Earlier records show recurring brake disc wear, pad thinning, and tyre deterioration, but these are consumable issues rather than progressive structural failure. Mileage progression from 97 692 miles in July 2024 to 132 730 miles in June 2026 reflects an average annual increase of roughly 13 300 miles, which is high for a ten‑year‑old vehicle. The 2023 year includes two closely spaced tests at 84 459 miles, suggesting a period of intensified inspection, while the annual spacing of subsequent tests remains consistent. The tight clustering of the June 2026 tests demonstrates recent and timely compliance with MOT intervals. A buyer should inspect the brake system thoroughly—check front and rear discs for scoring and verify pad thickness given repeated advisories in 2025 and 2022. Tyre condition is critical; examine all four tyres for bulges, ply exposure, and tread depth, as the 2026 failure and earlier rear tyre wear indicate structural damage that may require replacement. Front suspension arm pins and bushes should be examined for wear, as noted in 2023, and ensure under‑tray and sill covers are properly fitted to allow a full under‑vehicle inspection. Finally, assess the exhaust and chassis for corrosion; the consistently clean emission reading may mask sensor faults, and long‑term exposure can affect structural integrity.
