2013 Volvo S60 1.6L Diesel · GF13 AEW

The 2013 Volvo S60 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 123,814 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The maintenance record shows no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across the observed period. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 102,467 miles in July 2022, rising to 109,274 miles by July 2023, 117,108 miles in June 2024, and 123,814 miles in June 2025. That equates to roughly 6,600 to 7,700 miles per year between tests, below the implied average of 9,524, suggesting lighter-than-average use. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with only a failed entry on 6 July 2023 that carried no recorded defects and was immediately re-tested and passed the same day, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and salt-exposed UK service life. The MOT history flags none of these, yet Volvo S60 platforms of this era commonly develop rear trailing arm wear and front strut mounting degradation by 120,000 miles. The absence of advisories across five tests implies previous owners addressed consumables before each examination rather than deferring them. Verify the cambelt interval, transmission fluid condition, and underbody structural integrity in person, as these items fall outside MOT scope but carry real risk on a high-mileage 2013 executive saloon.
