2003 Volvo S60 2.4L Diesel · A13 EGM

The Volvo S60 passed its most recent MOT on 24 February 2026 at 158,619 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the last three annual cycles is stable. The test one day earlier on 23 February 2026 failed on administrative grounds with no mechanical defects listed, and the same pattern occurred on 9 February 2024 when a fail preceded a pass on the same day at 153,715 and 153,716 miles respectively. These paired fail-pass entries show no recurring mechanical fault, only paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,900 miles per year against the car's 2003 build date, which is typical for a 23-year-old vehicle. The records show 153,716 miles in February 2024, 157,241 miles in February 2025, and 158,619 miles in February 2026, giving a low annual accumulation of around 2,500 miles over the last two years. The clean advisory columns across all five entries suggest either light use or consistent consumable replacement, though the sparse history gives limited insight into component-level wear between tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and salt-exposure risk on a 2003 saloon. The absence of brake, exhaust, or structural advisories in the record is reassuring, but testers record only visible condition on the day. Check brake disc thickness and caliper operation, and confirm the tyres and wipers meet legal limits despite no faults being logged. The repeated same-day fail-pass events without defects imply the previous owner addressed minor presentation issues promptly rather than neglecting mechanical care. Given the clean sheets, the S60 presents as a low-risk used purchase from a documentation standpoint, subject to a hands-on check of aged rubber and chassis integrity before funds transfer.
