2019 Volvo V60 R-Design + D4 Auto 2.0L Diesel · DT14 DAZ

The 2025‑11‑06 MOT at 18,489 miles passed, confirming current roadworthiness, but the record reveals a pattern of recurring brake pad wear that began with a failure on 2025‑11‑03 and was subsequently corrected, indicating the issue was addressed rather than resolved. No structural or mechanical failures beyond brake components have been recorded, and the vehicle has maintained a passing status in the two most recent tests. At seven years old, the 18,489‑mile odometer averages roughly 2,640 miles per year, well below the typical usage for a 2019 model and suggesting limited driving or extended periods of inactivity. The steepest mileage increase occurs between the 2024‑11‑18 test (17,184 miles) and the 2025‑11‑03 failure (18,484 miles), a gain of 1,300 miles in just over ten months, while earlier intervals show more modest growth, reflecting a generally steady but uneven usage pattern. A buyer should therefore prioritize a close inspection of the braking system: measure front and rear pad thickness, examine brake discs for scoring, corrosion or uneven wear, and test for any binding or uneven pad contact that could indicate caliper seizure. In addition, examine the rear and front suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for excessive wear, cracking or oil leakage, as repeated pad replacements may have concealed underlying suspension deficiencies. Finally, verify the condition of the off‑side headlamp cleaning device noted in the 2022‑09‑21 failure, confirm that the rear inner brake pad wear recorded on 2025‑11‑06 remains within acceptable limits, and look for any signs of structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches or underbody, as these areas often deteriorate unnoticed between MOT inspections.
