2016 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · KV66 JUX

The 2016 Volvo V60 has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, with the most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 90,576 miles confirming no defects. While the 2024 and 2023 tests recorded minor advisories—front brake pads wearing thin in 2024 and rear pads plus front tyre wear in 2023—these were non-failures and did not escalate into major issues. The absence of recurring failures or advisory escalations suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the advisories indicate some components have reached or neared their serviceable limits. The mileage progression reveals a consistent annual average of approximately 9,058 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage, though the interval between the 2021 and 2023 tests—covering 18,366 miles—was unusually long for a car with advisory-level wear already present. This suggests either deferred maintenance or a period of lighter use, but the subsequent tests show no catastrophic degradation, implying the vehicle was not neglected to the point of structural compromise. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the brake system, particularly the rear pads and calipers, given the 2023 advisory and the 2024 front pad wear. The 2023 tyre advisories warrant checking for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate suspension bush deterioration or alignment issues. Given the age of the vehicle, corrosion at wheel arches, subframes, and suspension mounts should be scrutinised, as should the condition of coil springs and shock absorbers for leaks or excessive travel. The lack of major failures does not preclude hidden wear—especially in the suspension or drivetrain—but the advisories provide a clear starting point for targeted checks.
