2016 Volvo XC60 2.0L Diesel · YY16 VAF

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 16 September 2025 at 77,991 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards without immediate requirements for defect-related repairs. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. Between July 2023 and September 2024, the car covered 7,872 miles, while the subsequent interval between September 2024 and September 2025 saw 9,355 miles. This regular usage suggests the vehicle is driven consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining gaskets, seals, and braking components to prevent premature corrosion or component seizing. While the current record is clean, the history of failures in July 2023 and September 2024 suggests a pattern of reactive maintenance where faults were rectified just before inspection. A buyer should verify that the specific components that caused those previous failures have been properly overhauled rather than merely patched. Given the age of the Volvo XC60, a physical inspection should focus on the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of wear, as these are common points of degradation on this chassis regardless of a clean MOT certificate.
