2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · KT66 DWD

The 2016 Volvo XC60 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 9 December 2025 at 75,617 miles with zero advisories or defects. That is a strong result for a decade-old vehicle and suggests the most recent keeper has addressed earlier wear items proactively. The record shows no recurring structural or mechanical failures, and the trajectory from minor tyre wear advisories in 2024 to a fully defect-free pass in 2025 indicates resolving rather than worsening condition. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 7,562 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests regular use rather than prolonged standing. The 12,870-mile jump between the December 2024 test at 62,747 miles and the December 2025 test at 75,617 miles represents a modest uptick in annual use, but nothing that would raise concern about accelerated drivetrain or suspension wear. No significant gaps appear in the annual test pattern, with consistent December testing each year providing a reliable chronological record of the vehicle's condition. The only repeated area of attention is front tyre wear. In the December 2024 test at 62,747 miles, both the nearside and offside front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge. Edge wear on the front tyres of a vehicle with a near-13,000-mile annual increase suggests possible alignment or suspension geometry issues, though the clean 2025 pass with no tyre advisory implies the problem may have been corrected. A buyer should still inspect the front suspension bushes, track rod ends, and wishbone joints for wear, and check the current tyre tread depth and wear pattern across all four corners. Beyond tyres, the record is notably clean for a vehicle approaching eleven years old. The only other defect was a single inoperative offside rear registration plate lamp noted in December 2021 at 45,164 miles, a minor electrical item unlikely to recur. With no corrosion advisories, no brake defects, and no exhaust or emissions failures on file, the mechanical history is reassuring. A prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough underbody inspection for surface corrosion on subframes and suspension mounting points, as Volvo XC60 models of this generation can be susceptible to corrosion in salted road environments, even when MOT records remain clean.
