2008 Volvo V70 2.4L Diesel · CE58 JXT

This 2008 Volvo V70 has covered approximately 151,744 miles, averaging roughly 8,430 miles per year. This mileage is entirely typical for a vehicle of this age, suggesting a consistent pattern of use rather than long periods of neglect or excessive high-mileage motorway commuting. The vehicle’s MOT history is remarkably clean, showing a long period of fault-free testing between 2022 and 2024. However, the most recent inspection in December 2025 indicates a slight decline in condition. The tester noted wear on both the nearside and offside rear suspension arm bushes. While these did not result in a failure or excessive movement at the time, they represent the first signs of age-related degradation in the chassis components. The trend is currently shifting from a clean record to one requiring maintenance. While the vehicle has been well-maintained for several years, the rear suspension bushes are now flagged as an advisory, confirming that the rubber components are beginning to perish due to age and mileage. You should expect to budget for suspension work in the near future, as these bushes will likely deteriorate further and eventually require replacement to pass future tests. When inspecting the car in person, your first priority should be a thorough test drive to listen for knocking or clunking noises from the rear end, particularly when driving over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces.
