2009 Volvo S60 2.4L Diesel · AO58 OWF

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-27 recorded a pass with a note about rear brake discs being rusty. This follows a failed MOT on 2026-01-22, which listed multiple issues: both front position lamps not working, a non-functional windscreen washer, ineffective windscreen wipers, and the same rusty brake discs. These failures suggest recurring electrical and corrosion-related problems, with the brake discs showing persistent rust despite the later pass. A pattern of corrosion and wear emerges across the MOT history. In 2022, coil springs and the rear anti-roll bar were corroded, while front brake discs were worn or pitted. By 2023, rear tyre wear and thin brake pads were noted. The 2026 failures highlight electrical issues (lamps, wipers) and rust, indicating that corrosion and component degradation have not been fully resolved. While the 2026 pass suggests some improvements, the repeated rust on brake discs and electrical faults point to ongoing maintenance needs. The vehicle’s mileage of 105,813 miles for a 17-year-old car is slightly below the average of 6,224 miles per year. This could imply lighter use or periods of inactivity, which might exacerbate corrosion and electrical issues.
