2001 Volvo S60 2.3L Petrol · FD51 XUT

This vehicle currently holds no valid MOT certificate and is legally unroadworthy for public use. The most recent successful test occurred on 12 December 2022 at 158,469 miles, which predates the current date by nearly four years. While the history shows a pattern of passing tests in 2020, 2021, and 2022, the intervening failure records list no specific defects, creating ambiguity regarding the exact nature of those initial non-passes. The absence of any test entries between late 2022 and mid-2026 means the current mechanical condition remains unverified by statutory standards. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this vintage, averaging approximately 6,339 miles annually. The odometer reading stands at 158,469 miles, reflecting moderate wear consistent with a quarter-century-old machine. A notable gap exists in the maintenance timeline, specifically the cessation of recorded tests after December 2022. This hiatus prevents confirmation that components such as the exhaust system, lighting units, or braking efficiency have remained compliant over the last three years. Prospective buyers must arrange a pre-purchase inspection to verify structural integrity and mechanical function beyond the expired documentation. Prioritise checks on suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade on vehicles exceeding 150,000 miles. Examine brake discs for scoring and check for binding calipers, especially given the long period without fresh testing. Inspect wheel arches and sills for corrosion, as surface rust can compromise structural safety on a 2001 model. Reliance on the 2022 pass poses a risk, as wear and tear accumulate continuously regardless of historical certification status.
