2013 Volvo V60 1.6L Diesel · AF13 FJA

The 2013 Volvo V60 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 March 2026 at 207,156 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 9 April 2025 at 191,364 miles. The only blemish is a failed test on 8 April 2025 at the same mileage, where the DVSA system shows no defects logged; the vehicle passed the very next day, indicating either a clerical rejection or an immediate rectification with no mechanical fault carried forward. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the five-year record. The odometer reads 207,156 miles against a 13-year lifespan, averaging roughly 15,935 miles per year. This is high for the age and points to sustained motorway or business use rather than short urban cycles. Mileage moved from 170,576 in April 2023 to 173,879 by March 2024, then jumped 17,485 miles to 191,364 by April 2025, and a further 15,792 to the 2026 figure. The sparse five-entry history shows no long dormant periods, but the lack of recorded advisories on a car past 200,000 miles suggests testers either found nothing or the inspection depth was limited. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the structural integrity and underbody corrosion, given the high mileage and Volvo's known susceptibility to rear subframe rust in this era. The front suspension struts, coil springs, and anti-roll bar bushes warrant physical checks for fatigue not captured in the clean MOTs. Brake calipers and discs should be measured for wear, as the record offers no insight into consumable condition past the test dates. The immediate pass after the 2025 failure means no outstanding mechanical risk is proven, but the mileage demands verification of drivetrain health beyond the DVSA data.
