2013 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · KT13 WGZ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT result. The most recent test conducted on January 12, 2023, at 71,804 miles, showed no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were addressed and rectified. While the history shows a period of neglect in late 2021, the subsequent pass suggests the vehicle has maintained its operational integrity since that time. At 13 years old, the recorded 71,804 miles represent an average annual usage of approximately 5,500 miles, which is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression appears consistent, with a 3,000-mile gap between July 2019 and July 2020. However, low-mile usage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion due to lack of use, which is evidenced by the pitted and scored discs noted in the 2021 records. A buyer should pay close attention to the components flagged during the December 2021 failure. The tester identified a nearside front tyre with exposed cords and both front tyres below the legal limit, suggesting a lapse in basic consumable maintenance during that period. The nearside front alloy wheel with a welded repair on the inner rim requires a visual inspection to ensure structural integrity and that the repair has not compromised the wheel's safety. While the 2023 test was clean, the history of rust on the inner surfaces of the front brake discs and pitting on the metal warrants a physical check of the current braking system to ensure no binding calipers or excessive thinning has developed. Given the time elapsed since the last recorded MOT-over three years ago as of June 2026, the buyer should also inspect the suspension bushings and perished hoses for cracking, which are common in low-mileage Volvos that sit stationary for extended periods.
