2016 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · LM16 LSV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of worsening wear in the braking and suspension systems. The most recent test in May 2026 at 94,501 miles identified several new advisories, including thin front brake pads and worn discs on both axles. While the car passed the test, the accumulation of faults related to suspension arm bushes and coil springs suggests that the owner is only addressing components as they approach failure limits rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,450 miles per year. Between May 2024 and May 2026, the car covered 12,625 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 6,300 miles annually. This consistent interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to rubber perish and brake-related issues, as evidenced by the sidewall cracking noted in the 2022 record. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the front-end suspension, as the record shows recurring issues with nearside suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkage pins between 2024 and 2026. The corrosion on the offside rear coil spring flagged in the latest test is a specific structural concern that requires monitoring to ensure the metal does not fracture. Given the repeated mentions of worn discs and thin pads across the last three tests, the entire braking system is likely nearing the end of its service life and will require a comprehensive overhaul to ensure optimal performance.
