2015 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · CF65 EXR

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 August 2025 with 42,756 miles. While the car failed on that same date due to an ineffective windscreen wiper, this represents a minor consumable item failure. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently secured annual passes over the last decade without any major mechanical or structural failures recorded in the official history. The recorded mileage of 42,756 miles is significantly low for an eleven-year-old Volvo, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, for example, the car covered 2,600 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This low-frequency use suggests light wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of sitting between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid-related issues not captured in MOT inspections. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyre condition, as the history shows recurring issues in this area. The August 2023 at 36,277 miles flagged the nearside rear tyre for perishing and uneven wear, which escalated to a structural separation failure in August 2024 at 40,156 miles. Given the low mileage, the tyres may suffer from age-related cracking rather than tread depth depletion, so a physical inspection of the sidewalls for micro-cracking is essential. Beyond the tyres, the inspection should focus on the suspension bushings and brake components which may have aged despite the lack of heavy use. While the record shows no historical structural corrosion or binding caliper issues, the age of the vehicle warrants a check for seized brake bolts due to infrequent disuse and an inspection of the underbody for surface rust. Ensuring the low-mileage status has not masked neglect of these rubber and fluid components is the priority for this specific example.
