2011 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · FN11 DYT

This 2011 Volvo V60 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 20 December 2025 at 140,559 miles with zero defects recorded. The preceding test on 23 December 2024 at 131,137 miles was also entirely clean, indicating that the previous owner addressed the earlier advisories and has maintained the vehicle to a consistent standard over the last two years. The record shows a clear resolution of the recurring issues that plagued the car in 2022 and 2023. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 9,371 miles per year over its fifteen-year life. The interval between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests shows approximately 9,422 miles covered in twelve months, which is consistent with the long-term average and suggests regular, sustained use rather than prolonged standing or sudden high-mileage bursts. There are no alarming gaps in the MOT record that would raise concerns about the car sitting unused for extended periods. The 2022 and 2023 tests revealed a cluster of wear-related advisories that a buyer should verify have been properly addressed. Both front brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in October 2022, and the nearside rear shock absorber was noted as having a light misting of oil in both 2022 and 2023. The 2023 test also picked up a worn nearside front daytime running light and a nearside front tyre worn to 3mm with cracking on the inner sidewall. A prospective buyer should inspect the front brake discs and pads for current condition, check both rear shock absorbers for any fresh oil misting or damping loss, and examine the nearside front tyre sidewall carefully for renewed cracking or bulging. The October 2022 failure also exposed ply or cords on both front tyres and flagged the offside rear outer brake pad as below 1.5mm, so a thorough brake and tyre inspection across all four corners remains advisable despite the subsequent clean passes.
