2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · YA66 KUT

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent inspection in May 2026 at 64,313 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the failure in December 2025 regarding headlamp aim and insufficient washer fluid was rectified immediately, resulting in a retest pass on the same day. This suggests the current owner is responsive to MOT requirements once faults are identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old Volvo, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per annum. There is a steady progression of usage between tests, moving from 38,553 miles in late 2021 to 64,313 miles by May 2026. This low-mileage profile indicates the car has likely been used for shorter trips, which generally preserves the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to components seizing if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the record shows a recurring trend of wear. Between December 2023 and 2024, the tester repeatedly flagged thin rear brake pads and worn discs on both axles. While these met the legal minimum at the time, the frequency of these advisories suggests the braking components are nearing their replacement interval. A physical inspection should verify the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs to ensure no excessive pitting or thinning has occurred. The history also highlights past issues with consumables and lighting, such as uneven tyre wear in 2019 and headlamp alignment issues in 2022 and 2025. The buyer should check for even wear across all four tyres and ensure the headlamps are correctly aimed to prevent glare. Since no structural corrosion or significant mechanical failures have appeared in the record, the focus remains on the standard mechanical upkeep of the brakes and associated wear items.
