2007 Volvo S60 2.0L Petrol · EN07 RTX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 100,574 miles identified a minor exhaust leak and a deteriorated petrol cap seal, alongside an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. While the car passed, the recurrence of minor mechanical defects suggests that components are often only addressed once they approach a failure point or trigger an MOT advisory. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 100,574 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns over the last four years, with intervals of roughly 6,000 miles between the March 2022 and March 2026 tests. This low annual mileage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but the long stationary periods and age of the vehicle can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts, which is evident in the suspension records. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the tester flagged torn bushes on both front lower suspension arms in 2024 at 89,193 miles. These components are common failure points on Volvos of this era and can affect handling if not fully replaced. The persistent issue with a damaged windscreen spanning from 2022 to 2025 indicates a lack of attention to minor cosmetic repairs, which should be checked for any signs of stress cracking that could compromise structural integrity over time. The exhaust system noted in the 2026 test requires physical verification to ensure the minor leak is not indicative of deeper corrosion or manifold failure. Given the history of uneven tyre wear noted in 2023 and 2026, the buyer should also verify the wheel alignment to ensure the worn bushes are not prematurely consuming new tyres. The vehicle shows no signs of major structural failure, but the age of the rubber seals and bushes warrants thorough scrutiny.
