2018 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · AY68 LCW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred attention regarding consumable wear items. The most recent test in November 2025 at 81,823 miles flagged multiple advisories including thin front and rear brake pads alongside an offside front tyre worn to the edge. This mirrors issues seen back in December 2022, suggesting the owner frequently allows components to reach their wear limit rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage progression is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with 14,000 miles covered between January 2024 and November 2024 tests, and another 7,400 miles recorded between November 2024 and November 2025. While the mileage suggests the car has not sat for long periods, the gap between tests is standard, and the appearance of new faults indicates that mechanical checks are only being addressed during the annual inspection intervals. A buyer must personally inspect the braking system thoroughly, as the recurring reports of thin pads across both axles suggest a pattern of neglect. The low brake fluid level noted in 2022 also warrants a check for leaks or seal failure in the hydraulic lines. Additionally, the frayed offside front seat belt webbing flagged in 2024 remains a safety concern that should be verified as rectified or replaced. The uneven wear on the offside front tyre from the latest test also points to a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require immediate investigation to prevent premature tyre degradation.
