2012 Volvo V60 1.6L Diesel · AJ62 EXG

The 2012 Volvo V60 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2025-11-03 at 77,116 miles, which passed without defects. The prior 2024-11-04 test at 75,875 miles also passed, confirming consistent maintenance. However, the 2023-11-07 test recorded a failure at 89,349 miles—despite no defects listed—while a subsequent 2023-11-09 test at the same mileage passed. This inconsistency raises questions about data accuracy or procedural errors, but the absence of recorded faults in later tests suggests no critical issues persist. The vehicle’s mileage of 77,116 miles at 14 years old equates to approximately 5,508 miles annually, significantly below the average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation, potentially leading to component degradation from inactivity, such as seized joints or degraded fluids. Notably, the 2022-11-21 test at 71,232 miles passed, but the 2023 tests show an improbable mileage jump to 89,349 miles before dropping to 75,875 miles in 2024. This irregularity suggests possible data entry errors, complicating trend analysis. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s structural integrity, as low mileage may mask hidden corrosion or rust, particularly in underbody components. Inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as inactivity can accelerate aging in these parts. While no brake-related issues were recorded, the absence of detailed MOT notes on brake discs or calipers warrants a hands-on check for corrosion or uneven wear. The lack of advisories on tyres or exhaust emissions is positive, but the conflicting 2023 data necessitates additional scrutiny of service history to confirm reliability.
