2019 Volvo S60 2.0L Petrol · KT19 DLZ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 1 June 2026 at 42,218 miles, with advisories on all four tyres showing advanced wear close to the legal limit and uneven edge wear. This marks a clear deterioration from previous tests, where tyre wear was only flagged on the front pair in 2023 and not at all in 2024 or 2025. The recurrence of tyre edge wear across multiple inspections suggests persistent alignment or suspension issues, not just normal consumable wear. The recorded mileage of 42,218 over seven years equates to an average of 6,031 miles annually, which is typical for a family saloon. There are no gaps in the MOT history, and the progression from 19,761 miles in April 2022 to 42,218 miles in June 2026 shows consistent, steady use without sudden spikes or long periods of inactivity. The absence of defects between 2022 and 2025 indicates the vehicle was well-maintained during that time, with no mechanical failures or structural concerns raised. The recurring tyre edge wear, now affecting all four corners, strongly points to misalignment, worn suspension bushes, or failing dampers. These are not isolated tyre issues but symptoms of underlying chassis or steering geometry problems that will accelerate wear if unaddressed. The nail in the rear tyre in 2023 was a minor, isolated incident, but the pattern of edge wear since then suggests the root cause was never corrected. A buyer must inspect the suspension components, wheel bearings, and steering linkage for play or deterioration, and check for uneven brake disc wear that may accompany the tyre wear. The brakes themselves passed all tests, but the alignment issue could lead to premature disc or caliper wear if left unchecked. The body and structure show no recorded corrosion or damage in any test, and there are no warnings on exhaust, lights, or safety systems. The vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids major failures, but the current tyre condition and its progression demand immediate mechanical attention before further damage occurs.
