2015 VOLVO S602.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT on 17 January 2026 at 130,433 miles. This result follows three consecutive passes without defects, suggesting that the vehicle is maintained to a functional standard. While a failure occurred in late 2023, the subsequent return to a clean test sheet indicates that the owner addressed identified issues promptly before the next inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 12,136 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The short interval between the December 2022 and December 2023 tests, where only 4,833 miles were recorded before the 2023 failure likely relates to a reschedule or a specific component failure rather than rapid mechanical wear. Given the clean records over the last three years, a buyer should focus on high-mileage components common to the Volvo S60 at this stage. Physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and the integrity of the engine mounts, as these often degrade after 130,000 miles. Although the MOT shows no recent brake defects, checking for binding calipers or excessive corrosion on the brake lines remains necessary to ensure no hidden structural decay is present that a standard MOT test cannot detect.
