VOLVO S602017 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 81,930 miles passed with an advisory for an offside front tyre worn to the limit and showing edge wear. This follows a significant failure in December 2023 where multiple tyres were flagged for exposed ply cords and pitted brake discs. While the car has passed its last two tests, the recurring tyre issues suggest that the owner only addresses faults once they fail inspection standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between October 2024 and October 2025, where the car covered over 14,000 miles in just twelve months. Conversely, the usage slowed significantly with only 1,000 miles recorded between the December 2022 and December 2023 tests. This suggests the vehicle has recently seen more frequent motorway use, which places specific stress on rubber-based components and the braking system. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, as the history of edge-worn tyres across multiple axles indicates potential tracking issues or worn control arm bushes. The recurring mention of pitted and scored brake discs in 2022 and 2023 suggests that the braking system may be prone to corrosion or subjected to periods of inactivity. Verify the current state of the brake pads and discs to ensure the calipers are not binding, as the previous records show a history of surface degradation that was only addressed upon failure.
