2013 Volvo S60 2.4L Diesel · KT13 OSC

The Volvo S60 presents as a well-maintained vehicle with a stable and currently improving roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 11 June 2026 at 150,639 miles passed with zero defects, a clean sheet that follows a similarly flawless pass on 27 June 2025 at 145,272 miles. This marks a clear resolution of the suspension issues flagged in 2023, indicating that previous remedial work has held up and the car is currently in sound mechanical order. The mileage accumulation over the thirteen-year ownership period averages approximately 11,588 miles per year, which is broadly typical for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing with no gaps, and the odometer progression from 117,523 miles in July 2022 through to 150,639 miles in June 2026 reflects steady, predictable use rather than prolonged standing or sudden high-mileage bursts. There are no anomalies in the data to suggest clocking or irregular usage patterns. Buyers should pay close attention to the rear suspension, given the advisories recorded on 8 July 2023 at 131,814 miles. Both nearside and offside rear coil springs were flagged for corrosion, and the rear axle swivel pins and bushes showed slight wear at that time. Although subsequent tests have been clean, corrosion on coil springs can recur, particularly in regions exposed to road salt, and any visible pitting or surface degradation on the springs warrants close visual inspection. The rear bushes and swivel pins should also be checked for play, as these components endure significant loading and can degrade between test intervals. Beyond the suspension, the overall absence of defects across the last two tests suggests diligent upkeep, but a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the underside for structural corrosion, examine the condition of brake discs and pads given the mileage, and verify that exhaust emissions remain compliant under load. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but it does not substitute for a hands-on mechanical assessment, particularly on a vehicle approaching 151,000 miles.
