2012 Volvo V60 1.6L Diesel · CV62 WGU

The 2012 Volvo V60 presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at its most recent test on 3 October 2023 at 144,462 miles. The DVSA record shows no defects, advisories, or failures across the three available tests. This indicates the vehicle held a sound mechanical and structural condition at the time of its last examination, with no worsening pattern in the data. Mileage advanced from 114,227 on 30 September 2021 to 129,038 on 5 October 2022, then to 144,462 on 3 October 2023. That equates to roughly 14,800 miles in the first year and 15,400 in the second, close to the 10,300 annual average for its age but with slightly heavier use. The record spans only three years and shows no earlier history, leaving the pre-2021 care undocumented. A clean sheet across all three entries suggests the prior owner addressed consumables before each test rather than letting wear accumulate. With no advisories logged on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, the MOT offers no flagged mechanical risks to chase. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the car is fourteen years old. Verify the timing belt, drivetrain mounts, and binding calipers in person, as these items fall outside routine MOT scope. The absence of faults implies disciplined upkeep in the recorded period, yet the sparse history demands caution on unknown earlier wear. Treat the 2023 pass as a snapshot, not a lifetime guarantee, and budget for age-related replacements on a high-mileage estate.
