2012 Volvo V60 1.6L Diesel · DV12 HVT

The 2012 Volvo V60 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2026-02-17 at 129,029 miles confirming no defects. Previous tests from 2025-02-18 (118,437 miles) and 2024-02-15 (108,022 miles) also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2024-02-13 at 107,957 miles—despite no defects recorded—suggests potential procedural or technical anomalies, though no recurring faults are evident in the subsequent tests. The vehicle’s mileage of 129,029 miles over 14 years aligns with average annual usage of ~9,216 miles. Gaps between MOTs are generally consistent, though the 2024-02-13 failure occurred just two days before the next test, raising questions about timing. The 65-mile increase between 107,957 and 108,022 miles in that period is unusually rapid, potentially indicating short-term usage spikes or rushed testing. No significant wear patterns are evident in the recorded data, though the sparse history limits deeper analysis. A buyer should verify suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushes, which degrade over time, and inspect brake discs for uneven wear, as these are common issues in 14-year-old vehicles. Corrosion in underbody areas and exhaust emissions should also be checked, as they are often overlooked in MOTs. While the record shows no critical failures, the 2024-02-13 failure—despite no defects—warrants scrutiny to ensure no unresolved mechanical or regulatory issues persist.
