2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · KT66 DWA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. The most recent test on October 30 2025 at 65,629 miles identified a damaged nearside front track rod end ball joint dust cover. While this was an advisory, it marks the beginning of wear in the front geometry components. This follows a 2024 advisory where the front brake discs were noted as being worn and pitted. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use ten-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap of nearly 9,700 miles between November 2024 and October 2025, which suggests steady annual usage. However, the record from late 2023 reveals a lapse in basic maintenance; the car failed at 45,924 miles due to both front tyres being at the legal limit and an inoperative registration plate lamp. This indicates that the previous owner neglected minor consumable items until they reached a legal failure point. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension and braking system during a physical evaluation. The recurring mentions of front-end issues, from the track rod dust cover to the pitted brake discs, suggest the front assembly is beginning to require component attention. Additionally, the persistent note regarding undertrays not allowing a full inspection in both 2024 and 2025 is a concern for verifying the structural integrity of the chassis. You must request these guards be removed to ensure no hidden corrosion is present that the MOT tester was unable to see.
