2013 Volvo S60 2.0L Diesel · FX63 UCM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding wear items. The most recent test in February 2024 at 93,585 miles showed the car passing despite advisories for thin rear brake pads and body damage. This mirrors an advisory from January 2023 at 82,389 miles, indicating that the previous owner neglected to replace the brake components once they reached a critical wear threshold. At 93,585 miles over 13 years, the car has averaged approximately 7,200 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage patterns. The mileage accumulation appears consistent, with a 15,373-mile gap between the January 2022 and January 2023 tests, and another 11,196-mile interval between early 2023 and early 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle was not left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber-based components and engine seals. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the January 2022 test at 67,016 miles flagged front tyres wearing excessively on the inner edges. This specific wear pattern points to incorrect alignment or worn suspension bushes that have not clearly been addressed. Given the recurring issue of thin rear brake pads across two consecutive years, a thorough check of the current brake thickness and caliper condition is essential to ensure no binding or glazing is present. The body damage noted on the offside front wing and driver door in early 2024 should also be examined for hidden structural corrosion or compromised mounting points that could impact the vehicle's long-term integrity.
