2012 Volvo V60 2.4L Diesel · CK12 GOJ

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness characterizes this vehicle, with the most recent MOT pass on 16 October 2025 showing no recorded defects. The testing history demonstrates a stable trend, as the vehicle has maintained passing results since its first recorded test in 2018. While there were isolated advisories regarding brake component wear and an oil leak in 2018, the subsequent years have seen the record clear of such issues, including the 2024 test which also reported no defects. The recorded mileage of 104,823 miles over approximately 14 years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 7,487 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical long-term patterns for a vehicle of this age, suggesting a steady rate of wear on consumable components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline or evidence of rapid mileage surges that would suggest irregular usage or periods of prolonged inactivity. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the braking system and the engine bay, given the historical advisories for pitted front brake discs and thin rear brake pads. Although the 2025 record is clean, the 2023 advisory regarding rear brake pad wear indicates that these components are subject to regular depletion. During a test drive, it is essential to check for any pedal judder or vibration under braking, which could indicate disc irregularities, and to listen for any squealing or grinding noises that might suggest the pads have reached the end of their service life. The 2018 advisory for an oil leak warrants a visual inspection of the engine bay and the underside of the vehicle for any signs of residual oil misting or active seepage. While this was recorded several years ago, it is prudent to check around the sump, valve cover, and various seals to ensure no new leaks have developed. Additionally, since the vehicle has covered over 100,000 miles, a thorough check of the suspension for any knocks or knocks over uneven surfaces is advisable to ensure the structural integrity of the linkages and mounting points remains intact.
