2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · TL60 LEW

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive wear-related repairs. The most recent test in May 2026 at 48,810 miles identified an advisory for a thin offside front inner brake pad. This follows a finding in May 2025 at 41,307 miles where the rear brake pads were flagged as thin. While the vehicle continues to pass, the emergence of thinning friction material suggests that the braking system is now reaching a service interval. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old Volvo, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage between 2019 and 2022, where the car covered only 9,267 miles over three years. However, there was a significant increase in usage between 2025 and 2026, where the vehicle clocked over 7,500 miles in fourteen months. This low-mileage history often implies long periods of standing, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components due to age rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure discs are not scored or grooved from the thin pads. The 2023 test record at 28,656 miles noted perishing on both rear tyres, a classic sign of a low-use vehicle sitting for extended periods. Inspect the sidewalls of all tyres for age cracking and check the suspension bushings for dry rot or cracking. The structural integrity appears sound across the history, with no corrosive corrosion or structural failures recorded over the last decade.
