2016 Volvo S60 2.0L Diesel · SH10 LAS

This 2016 Volvo S60 has covered approximately 53,856 miles, which is significantly lower than the average for a ten-year-old vehicle. While low mileage often suggests a well-preserved car, the MOT history indicates that this vehicle has suffered from recurring issues related to tyre wear and suspension alignment, which can sometimes be a byproduct of a car sitting for long periods or being used primarily for short, stop-start journeys. The most recent MOT from May 2026 shows that the front brake pads are wearing thin and both front tyres are nearing the legal limit. This suggests the vehicle is currently due for immediate maintenance. It is concerning to see that tyre wear has been a recurring theme in the history, appearing in 2022, 2023, and again in 2026. The specific mention of tyres wearing on the inner edges in 2023 indicates a potential alignment issue that may not have been fully resolved, leading to premature replacement of rubber. Mechanically, the vehicle appears relatively stable. While there were reports of worn rear suspension bushes in 2024 and a minor oil leak in 2022, these did not reappear in subsequent tests, suggesting they may have been addressed or were minor enough not to worsen. The lack of defects in 2025 is a positive sign, indicating that the car is generally well-maintained despite the persistent tyre and brake wear issues. The overall trend is stable, though the buyer must be prepared for immediate expenditure on tyres and brake pads to ensure the car remains roadworthy.
