2017 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · 1601 PK

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a clean record to emerging maintenance requirements. While the car achieved four consecutive MOT passes between 2022 and 2025 without any defects, the January 2026 test at 78,139 miles flagged several wear items. The appearance of an offside front tyre worn to the limit alongside pitted rear brake discs and thin inner pads suggests that the vehicle is now entering a phase where consumable components require proactive attention. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, moving from 52,309 miles in February 2022 to 78,139 miles in January 2026. This regular usage suggests the car has been used consistently rather than left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and mechanical components. The lack of recorded defects in the previous three years indicates that the structural integrity and primary mechanical systems remained stable for the majority of its life. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the pitted rear discs have not developed deep corrosion or heat cracking. Since the tester flagged both thin pads and scored discs, a full brake service is likely necessary to prevent caliper binding. Furthermore, the edge wear noted on the offside front tyre often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified to avoid premature wear of any replacement tyres.
