2019 Volvo S60 R-Design + T5 Auto 2.0L Petrol · P9 SUU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the recent maintenance history indicates a decline in proactive upkeep after years of stability. While the car passed its October 2025 test at 81,950 miles, it followed a failure just one day prior. This failure revealed a serious fluid leak from the offside rear shock absorber and a deteriorated front upper torque mount. The fact that these issues were rectified for the pass suggests the owner only addressed faults once forced by the tester rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical long-distance use, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year over its seven-year life. Between September 2022 at 29,270 miles and September 2024 at 63,384 miles, the vehicle covered over 34,000 miles with a clean record. However, the mileage increased by 18,566 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This recent surge in usage likely correlates with the sudden wear on suspension components and tyres noted in the most recent inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain mounts. The deteriorated torque mount flagged in 2025 can cause excessive vibration and engine movement if not replaced with high-quality parts. Furthermore, the offside rear shock absorber failure requires a check of the opposite side for similar leaks, as shocks often fail in pairs. The recurring mention of uneven edge wear on both the nearside and offside front tyres suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature further tyre replacement.
