2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · R5 BAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent MOT test on 5 August 2025 with 106,782 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a single failure during that same session due to an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint. The fact that the vehicle passed immediately after this specific repair indicates that the previous owner was responsive to safety-critical defects rather than allowing faults to persist across testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. There is a significant jump of 23,420 miles between the August 2023 test at 56,302 miles and the August 2024 test at 79,723 miles, followed by a further 27,059 miles covered in the final year. This increased rate of use suggests regular, long-distance motorway driving which typically places predictable wear on rubberized components, suspension bushings, and drivetrain elements. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to ensure the recently replaced ball joint has been fitted correctly and has not caused uneven wear on the tyres or steering rack. While the history shows a clean record for 2023 and 2024, the high mileage warrants checking the control arms and shock absorbers for perished boots or leaks. Given the age of the XC60, also verify the structural integrity of the undercarriage for corrosion that may not yet have reached a failure threshold.
