2017 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · BK17 AEF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-27 at 63,141 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an identical date and mileage also show a failure entry, creating inconsistency in the data. This discrepancy undermines confidence in the reliability of the records. Previous tests from 2022 to 2024 at progressively higher mileages (49,761 to 58,614) all passed without defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the lack of a valid MOT beyond May 2025 raises concerns about the vehicle’s compliance and potential unaddressed issues. The mileage progression aligns with an average annual usage of 7,016 miles, which is typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. Gaps between tests—such as the 12-month interval between the 2024 and 2025 MOTs—suggest possible neglect, though no defects were recorded during this period. The absence of recurring faults in the history implies consistent upkeep, but the 2025 failure entry, if valid, could signal a sudden issue requiring investigation. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, which are common wear points in this model. The absence of brake-related defects in prior tests is reassuring, but a detailed check of the brake discs and calipers is advised. Structural corrosion, though not mentioned in the MOTs, warrants scrutiny, especially under the vehicle. The conflicting 2025 MOT result necessitates verification with the DVSA to confirm the vehicle’s compliance status before purchase.
