2016 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · VA66 FML

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. In the most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 46,736 miles, the car passed with an advisory for slight play in both front wishbone rear bushes. While the immediate mechanical failures have been addressed, this highlights the beginning of wear in the suspension components, which will likely require attention soon to prevent further handling issues or uneven tyre wear. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,674 miles per year. Data shows consistent low usage, moving from 33,916 miles in December 2023 to 40,274 miles in December 2024, and reaching 46,736 miles by late 2025. This low mileage suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine, but the long intervals between uses can contribute to the degradation of rubber-based components, as is evidenced by the historical records. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and tyre assembly. The history reveals recurring issues with tyres; in both 2023 and 2024, multiple tyres were flagged for being near the legal limit, showing edge wear, or suffering structural failures such as lumps and cracking. The edge wear specifically suggests a potential alignment issue that should be verified to ensure a new set of tyres is not immediately destroyed. Additionally, the advisory on the front wishbone bushes should be monitored for increasing play, as continued deterioration of these bushes can lead to steering instability and increased vibration.
