2009 Volvo S60 2.0L Gas bi-fuel · H6 URA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 130,282 miles resulted in a pass only after a failure involving multiple electrical faults and an insecure exhaust. While the immediate issues were addressed, the recurring nature of the exhaust-related mounting failures in both 2024 and 2025 suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical components when they are on to fail an MOT test. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 130,282 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 7,664 miles, which aligns with typical UK figures for this age. The data shows steady progression between annual tests, with 3,186 miles covered between October 2023 and 2024, and another 1,869 miles between 2024 and 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle is not sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension and braking system, as the 2023 record flagged significant corrosion and wear on the lower suspension arms, ball joints, and bushes. The tester also noted pitted and scored brake discs at that time, indicating a lack of attention to consumable maintenance. Furthermore, the non-excessive oil leak noted in 2023 requires a physical check to ensure it has not worsened into a more significant leak. Given the history of electrical failures involving bulbs and indicators, a thorough test of the wiring loom and bulb sockets is necessary to ensure no deeper corrosion is present.
