2010 Volvo V50 1.6L Diesel · DA60 BYV

This 2010 Volvo V50 presents as a robust, high-mileage example with a generally stable maintenance record. At roughly 16 years old and 170,770 miles, the annual mileage is typical, though the jump of over 10,000 miles between January and December 2025 suggests the car is actively used rather than left standing. The mechanical history highlights a specific pattern of age-related wear. In December 2023, the car failed its MOT due to a detached rear anti-roll bar pin and a noisy offside front wheel bearing. These were rectified immediately, resulting in a pass the following day. Since then, the vehicle has passed tests without major mechanical issues, though the most recent test in December 2025 flagged both rear tyres for cracking or perishing. This suggests the rubber is deteriorating due to age rather than just mileage wear. The condition trend looks stable rather than worsening, as the significant suspension faults from 2023 have not recurred. However, the tyre defects indicate that perishable items are now a priority. Given the mileage, you should expect standard wear on consumables.
