2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · OY66 RNX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in October 2025 at 103,869 miles passed with an advisory for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and unevenly. This suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension components that have not been addressed. While the car remains legally compliant, the appearance of mechanical advisories suggests that wear items are beginning to reach their service limits. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old Volvo, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per annum. Between October 2021 at 76,470 miles and October 2024 at 95,639 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 19,000 miles, showing steady usage without significant gaps. This regular accumulation helps prevent long periods of standing which can lead to perished seals or seized components, but it also means the vehicle faced standard expected wear on the drivetrain and suspension assembly. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the steering system, specifically given the offside play in the steering rack inner joints recorded in October 2024 at 95,639 miles. This fault often leads to degraded steering precision and premature tyre wear if not properly replaced. The uneven wear noted on the front tyre in 2025 necessitates a thorough check of the control arm bushes, struts, and tie rods to ensure the geometry is correct. Additionally, the deteriorated condition of the rear registration plate from 2024 is a minor point of environmental exposure that should be replaced to ensure visibility.
