2017 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · NL17 AAZ

The January 6 2026 MOT passed the vehicle, confirming roadworthiness despite a tyre wear advisory. The pattern of recurring tyre edge wear and brake disc scoring across the past six tests indicates a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening condition. At 72,446 miles and nine years of age the annual mileage averages just over 8,000 miles, a figure typical for a lightly used 2017 Volvo V60. The interval between the 2020 COVID‑19 six‑month extension and the 2020‑11‑11 test is five months, after which mileage rose from 46,197 to 50,096, showing normal use. Subsequent tests in 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2025 each added roughly 4,000 to 6,000 miles, confirming a steady increase without abrupt jumps. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the rear and front brake discs and pads, looking for scoring, pitting or binding calipers, and verify that the suspension bushes and coil springs are free of excessive play or corrosion. Inspection of the wheel arches and chassis for rust, especially where the repeated tyre edge wear suggests possible impact or neglect, is also advisable. Overall the car meets the legal standard for the current test, but the persistent tyre wear and brake disc condition point to consumable items that will need replacement soon; a thorough in‑person inspection of brakes, suspension and structural integrity is essential before purchase.
