2017 Volvo S60 2.0L Diesel · KT67 BBJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred attention to brakes and tyres. The most recent test in January 2026 at 26,870 miles flagged multiple issues including thin front brake pads, pitted rear discs, and two poor tyre conditions. While the car passed, the recurring nature of thinning brake pads and scored discs across the last three tests suggests the previous owner only addresses components when they approach failure limits rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old Volvo, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between December 2022 and December 2023, during which the car covered only about 4,000 miles. This low-frequency use often leads to secondary degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the perishing and cracking noted on the offside rear tyre in early 2025. The age-related failure of the tyres in earlier tests indicates the vehicle likely sat for long periods between uses despite the low recorded mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the record consistently notes worn pads and pitted discs across both axles. The repeated flagging of these components suggests the calipers may be slightly seizing or sticking due to low usage. Furthermore, the tyres should be checked for deep sidewall cracking and uneven wear, as the history shows a pattern of impact damage and exposed cords. The structural integrity appears sound based on the records, but the low-mileage nature necessitates a check of suspension bushes and fluid condition that can degrade from age rather than distance.
