2018 Volvo V60 2.4L Diesel · FH18 OTL

The 2018 Volvo V60 presents a stable and highly favorable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 13 June 2025 at 36,697 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards without requiring any remedial work. An anomaly appears in the 2024 record where the car failed on 20 May at 33,045 miles despite no defects being recorded, though it passed the very next day at 33,046 miles. This suggests an aborted test or an administrative failure rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent clean passes confirm the underlying mechanical integrity remains sound. At eight years old with 36,697 miles on the clock, the annual accumulation averages just 4,587 miles, which is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression is remarkably consistent, advancing from 25,330 miles in May 2022 to 30,038 miles in June 2023, and reaching 33,046 miles by May 2024. The final year shows a slight uptick, covering 3,651 miles between May 2024 and June 2025, but the overall pattern reflects light, regular use rather than long periods of standing or sudden high-mileage excursions. While the MOT history is entirely free of advisories or failures, the exceptionally low mileage warrants a focused physical inspection of components that degrade through age and lack of use rather than wear. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and date codes, as low annual mileage often means the original rubber remains in service past its safe lifespan. The brake discs and calipers require scrutiny for surface corrosion caused by short journeys that prevent pads from wiping the rotors clean. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts should also be checked for perishing, as prolonged standing can cause rubber compounds to harden and crack.
