2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · NJ66 DWC

This 2016 Volvo XC60 shows a generally well-maintained history, but the trend has shifted from clean passes to minor mechanical advisories over the last two years. With approximately 69,510 miles on the clock, the vehicle has covered a typical annual distance, suggesting steady use rather than long periods of neglect or extreme high-mileage wear. The most recent MOT in January 2026 shows a slight decline in condition. While the car passed, it required a repair to an offside front track rod end dust cover to clear a failure. The recurring mention of rear brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored—noted as an advisory in the most recent test—suggests the rear braking system is nearing the end of its service life. This is a common pattern for a vehicle of this age and weight, likely indicating that the rear pads and discs will require replacement in the near future. The transition from a clean record in 2023 and 2024 to the current advisory status indicates that the vehicle is now entering a phase where age-related wear on suspension and braking components is becoming more frequent. While this is expected for a ten-year-old car, it confirms that you should budget for imminent maintenance rather than expecting a trouble-free run. When inspecting the vehicle in person, your first priority should be the rear braking system. Check the discs for deep grooves or heavy corrosion that might necessitate immediate replacement.
