2012 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · AV62 AFJ

This Volvo V60 demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend and remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT. The test on 29 July 2025 at 145,595 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to June 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a fourteen year old vehicle. Between the June 2021 test at 109,134 miles and the July 2025 test at 145,595 miles, the car covered 36,461 miles over four years. This averages roughly 9,100 miles per year, suggesting regular use without any periods of prolonged standing that often lead to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The absence of any advisories over five consecutive years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record shows no recurring faults with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, a buyer should still manually verify the condition of these consumables. High mileage often masks gradual wear that does not trigger a failure but affects ride quality. A physical inspection should focus on structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, as MOT testers sometimes overlook minor surface rust that does not yet compromise structural integrity. Checking the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential, as these critical drivetrain components are not specifically flagged in a standard MOT pass but are due based on the 145,595 mile odometer reading.
