2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · SL66 SZF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in January 2026 at 85,681 miles passed, but the tester again identified a nearside front tyre worn specifically on the outer edge. This mirrors a recurring issue from early 2024 where multiple tyres were flagged for reaching the legal limit. While the car consistently passes its annual inspections, the persistent nature of tyre wear suggests the owner delays routine consumable replacements until failure. At 85,681 miles, the XC60 has averaged approximately 8,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical expectations for a decade-old SUV. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 8,800 miles driven between the February 2023 and January 2024 tests, and another 8,600 miles between January 2024 and February 2025. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which generally benefits the health of rubber seals and mechanical components. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the repeated edge wear on the front tyres in 2024 and 2026 strongly indicates an alignment issue or worn control arm bushes. The February 2023 record noted thin front pads and worn discs all around; while these were likely replaced, the current state of the braking system requires checking for uneven wear. Additionally, the report of a perished offside rear tyre in 2024 highlights a need to check the age and sidew condition of all remaining tyres to ensure they are not structurally compromised despite having sufficient depth.
