2017 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · KS67 ABK

This Volvo V60 has maintained a consistent MOT pass history with no recorded defects across all five tests, most recently passing on 6 October 2025 at 97,452 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if not rigorous, servicing, though the lack of specific defect entries means no mechanical issues were formally identified by the tester. The most recent test was conducted just nine months ago, which aligns with the standard three-year MOT interval for this model. While this indicates no immediate cause for concern, the buyer should verify whether any non-MOT-related maintenance—such as suspension bush replacements, brake fluid flushes, or timing belt servicing—has been performed within the manufacturer’s recommended intervals. The mileage progression of approximately 10,800 miles annually over nine years reflects typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gaps between tests are consistent with the three-year MOT cycle, and the recorded mileage at each test (ranging from 53,844 to 97,452 miles) shows steady accumulation without evidence of extended storage or neglect. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern to suggest accelerated wear or deferred maintenance, though the buyer should cross-check the service history against the manufacturer’s guidelines for critical components like the turbocharger, differential fluid, and suspension mounts. Given the clean MOT record, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear items that are not routinely tested under the MOT scheme. The suspension—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and strut mounts—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are critical for handling and safety. Brake components, including the rear calipers (which are prone to binding in Volvo models) and front discs, warrant close scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been driven in wet or salted conditions. Additionally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, as Volvo V60s are susceptible to structural rust in these areas. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive sagging, as catalytic converter failures are a known issue in this model, and the MOT record provides no assurance of their current condition.
