2013 Volvo V70 2.0L Diesel · EF62 PXY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in December 2025 at 111,068 miles shows a pass following a failure the previous day due to thin front brake pads and a worn rear tyre. While the vehicle passed the re-test, the recurring mention of worn brake discs alongside thinning pads indicates that the owner only addresses components once they reach the point of legal failure, rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 111,068 miles over 13 years, the Volvo averages approximately 8,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for an estate of this age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 12,600 miles covered between November 2023 and December 2024, and another 13,300 miles covered in the subsequent twelve months. This steady mileage accumulation suggests the car has not sat for long periods, though it does subject components to expected wear on rubber-based suspension components and braking hardware. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the record flags multiple issues with both pads and discs across the last two years. The presence of worn discs when pads are thin suggests they may be scored or pitted, which can lead to vibrations or poor stopping performance. Additionally, the repeated failures regarding tyres worn on the edge in both 2023 and 2025 point to potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to ensure the vehicle is not prematurely consuming new tyres.
