2010 Volvo V60 2.4L Diesel · AV60 AEL

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 10 April 2026 at 110,195 miles, indicating a clean bill of health with no recorded defects or advisories. This result suggests a stable and well-maintained condition, as the car has passed its most recent inspection without any noted mechanical or structural failures. The absence of any recurring advisories in the last three years points to a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy state by its previous keepers. The recorded mileage of 110,195 miles over a 16-year lifespan averages approximately 6,887 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The history shows consistent annual testing, with no significant gaps that might suggest long-term storage or neglect. While the 2024 and 2025 records show initial test failures followed by immediate passes on the same day, these instances appear to be administrative corrections or minor rectifications rather than evidence of systemic mechanical decay. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the standard consumables that often escape the scope of an MOT, such as the condition of the timing belt, which is a critical service item for this Volvo engine. Given the clean MOT record, the primary concerns shift to the integrity of the suspension bushes and the state of the brake discs, which may be reaching the end of their service life despite passing the visual inspection. Check the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframes and verify that the electronic parking brake functions smoothly, as these components are common wear points on the V60 platform that may not always trigger an immediate test failure.
