2022 Volvo V60 Momentum B3 Mhev Auto 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · HN71 YDT

High annual mileage and recent tyre-related safety failures define the mechanical profile of this vehicle, which shows a recent transition from a dangerous failure to a pass. The most recent MOT on 13 August 2026 resulted in a pass, though it carried an advisory for a damaged offside rear lamp lens. This follows a significant failure in January 2025, where the vehicle was flagged for a dangerous defect regarding exposed cords on the offside front tyre, alongside an under-inflated tyre and a cut sidewall on the nearside front. While the 2026 result shows an improvement in basic roadworthiness, the previous failure indicates that consumable components have been subject to significant wear or impact. The recorded mileage of 67,817 miles against a 2022 registration indicates a high-use profile, averaging approximately 16,954 miles per year. This rate of accumulation is considerably higher than the UK average for a vehicle of this age and suggests frequent long-distance driving. Mechanically, this level of usage typically accelerates the wear on consumable items such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes, as well as increasing the frequency of service intervals for drivetrain components. The mileage history confirms the vehicle has been in consistent, heavy use rather than sitting idle. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the condition of the tyres and wheel assemblies during a physical inspection. Given the 2025 failure for exposed ply and cords, it is essential to inspect all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, sidewall bulges, or embedded objects that could indicate poor road surface conditions or aggressive driving. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or vibration from the tyres, which could suggest structural damage or incorrect balancing, and check for any steering pull that might indicate the previous tyre issues were symptomatic of wider alignment problems. The advisory regarding the damaged offside rear lamp lens should be checked for any subsequent moisture ingress or electrical issues. Ensure the light unit is secure and that the lens is replaced if the damage compromises the seal, as this can lead to corrosion of the rear light cluster wiring. Additionally, because of the high mileage, a thorough check of the braking system is warranted; listen for any squealing or grinding from the calipers and feel for any pedal judder under braking, which would suggest the discs are reaching the end of their service life due to the high annual mileage recorded.
