2014 Volvo S60 2.0L Diesel · AO14 XNV

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness based on its consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 9 September 2023 at 118,891 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car met all minimum safety standards at that time. This suggests a proactive approach to maintenance, as no recurring mechanical failures or structural integrity issues have been flagged across the last five testing cycles. The mileage pattern aligns with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There is a significant jump in usage between the May 2022 test at 78,215 miles and the September 2023 test at 118,891 miles, representing over 40,000 miles in just 16 months. This rapid accumulation places higher demand on wear-related components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and tyres, yet the clean MOT result following this period suggests these elements were maintained effectively despite the high annual mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the undercarriage and suspension components, given the high-mileage interval in recent years. While the record shows no structural corrosion, the age of the vehicle makes rubber components in the control arms and shock absorbers prone to cracking. The 2018 advisory regarding child seats obstructing seat belt inspection is a minor administrative note and does not indicate mechanical failure, but it highlights a period where the vehicle was used for family transport. Since the last test was now nearly three years ago, a fresh inspection is essential to ensure no new mechanical degradation or fluid leaks have developed since the 2023 record.
