2015 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · V 700

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 June 2026 at 95,356 miles. However, the maintenance trend is worsening. While the car previously enjoyed long periods of clean tests, the last two years show a decline in basic upkeep. The June 2026 test flagged an offside front brake disc that is worn, pitted, or scored, alongside a nail in the offside rear tyre and fluctuating service brake readings. The mileage is typical for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,669 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last decade, though there was a notable increase in usage between May 2024 and June 2025, where the odometer rose from 72,408 to 80,685 miles. This period of higher activity coincides with a significant failure in tyre condition. A buyer must scrutinize the tyre maintenance and wheel alignment. The vehicle failed on 2 June 2025 due to multiple cuts reaching the ply or cords across three tyres, and the tester noted inner edge wear on both front tyres. This pattern, combined with the 2019 failure for similar tyre cuts and the 2021 advisory for nearside front wear, suggests a recurring neglect of tyre health or a persistent alignment issue. The braking system requires a physical inspection. The June 2026 advisories regarding the pitted offside front disc and fluctuating brake readings indicate the onset of component degradation. Given the vehicle's age and the recent trend of ignoring consumable wear until the point of MOT failure, a full check of the brake pads and calipers is recommended to ensure no binding or uneven wear is present.
