2015 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · FX65 NFD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred repairs and recurring mechanical issues. The most recent test in June 2026 at 108,720 miles shows a pass following a failure due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light. While the MIL issue was rectified, the tester still flagged an offside oil leak and multiple tyre related defects. The recurring nature of failures across different years suggests that the owner only addresses faults when forced by the MOT test rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There was a significant jump of over 17,000 miles between June 2020 and June 2021, followed by steady accumulation of roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles annually thereafter. This regular usage indicates typical road mileage, which explains the standard wear on consumable components like brake pads and tyres, but the lack of clean-sheet records suggests the vehicle has not subjected to rigorous long-term care. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the suspension and alignment, as the record consistently flags heavy inner edge wear on multiple front and rear tyres from 2019 through 2026. This persistent pattern indicates a chronic geometry issue or worn suspension bushes and ball joints that have remained unaddressed. The offside oil leak noted in the June 2026 test requires a close inspection to determine if it is a minor gasket or a more significant engine seal. Given the history of thin brake pads and previous exhaust leaks, the entire braking system and exhaust manifold should be checked for corrosion and structural integrity to ensure no further hidden costs are imminent.
