2016 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · WV65 YMU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 102,572 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a clear trend of reactive rather than proactive servicing. The failure in the March 2026 test due to exposed cords on the offside rear tyre indicates a critical safety concern addressed only immediately. While the current pass shows no defects, the recurring issues with consumables suggest the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults when necessitated by a legal test failure. The mileage profile is consistent with a standard-use vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There is a notable period of increased usage between November 2023 (77,905 miles) and March 2025 (91,263 miles), where the car covered over 13,000 miles in just sixteen months. Prior to this, the vehicle sat for longer periods, covering only 3,000 miles between October 2021 and September 2022. This fluctuation in usage can sometimes lead to uneven wear on rubber components. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The 2019 failure highlighted multiple thin brake pads and pitted rear brake discs across all axles, suggesting a history of neglected brake maintenance. Given the repeated reports of uneven tyre wear and perishing across 2019, 2020, 2025, and 2026, the inspector must check for alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Evaluating the current state of the tyres is vital, as recurring tyre failures have masked underlying mechanical wear that could lead to expensive repairs on a Volvo of this age.
