Our Verdict
A cautious recommendation for those seek
Prioritise a thorough review of the service history to confirm when the timing belt and water pump were last replaced, as these are critical maintenance items for this 1.6L diesel engine. Given the repeated MOT advisories for brake pads (2022, 2023, 2025) and tyres (2022, 2025), you should request proof that these items were actually replaced rather than just maintained at the legal limit to pass the test.
Negotiate the purchase price based on the likely need for immediate consumables replacement. Ensure the seller provides evidence of a full service, as vehicles exceeding 100,000 miles require stricter adherence to oil and filter intervals to maintain engine longevity.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for fuel efficiency, making it a viable option for long-distance commuting. However, as a 2014 model, insurance groups for the S60 are moderate, and road tax will depend on the specific CO2 emissions of this engine variant.
Maintenance costs are expected to be higher than average due to the vehicle's mileage. Routine replacements for brakes and tyres are already highlighted in the MOT history, and older diesel components may require more frequent attention. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Carefully inspect the condition of the front and rear tyres and the thickness of the brake pads, as these have been repeated points of failure or advisory in 2022, 2023, and 2025. Check the windscreen washer system to ensure the 2025 failure for insufficient liquid was fully rectified and not a symptom of a pump failure.
Additionally, examine the tyre tread for uneven wear; the MOT records specifically mention tyres being 'worn on edge', which can sometimes indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension components. Check all exterior lighting, as headlamps are a top failure reason for this model according to aggregate data.
This black 2014 Volvo S60 diesel has recorded 125,226 miles, which is above the model average. The MOT history shows a consistent testing pattern, though the most recent test in November 2025 resulted in a failure due to tyre wear, thin brake pads, and insufficient washer liquid. It has a history of recurring advisories for braking components dating back to 2022.
The S60 has an average MOT pass rate of 79.7%, with tyres and brake pads identified as common failure points across the model range.
