2011 Volvo S60 2.4L Diesel · LS11 XWM

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 30 July 2024 at 173,464 miles, yet this result is nearly two years old relative to the current date of June 2026. This pass followed a failure just one week earlier at 173,219 miles, where the tester flagged an excessively worn nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and front service brakes that were fluctuating excessively. While the owner rectified these issues to secure a pass, the presence of deteriorated dust covers on the rear lower anti-roll bar linkages in the final test indicates a trend of deferred maintenance on suspension components. The odometer reading of 173,464 miles represents consistent annual usage of approximately 11,500 miles. Records show steady accumulation between the June 2022 test at 159,951 miles and July 2023 at 168,906 miles, with no evidence of the vehicle standing idle for extended periods. This mileage level places significant stress on mechanical parts, a fact reflected in the history of tyre wear advisories recorded in both 2021 and 2022. You should closely inspect the front suspension and braking system during a physical viewing. The anti-roll bar linkages have demonstrated a clear progression from slight play in 2022 to severe wear and split dust covers by 2024. Given the excessive brake fluctuation noted during the 2024 failure, the front discs and pads require immediate verification to ensure they have not deteriorated since the repair. Additionally, the engine management system needs attention, as the history includes a DPF warning message in 2022 and a malfunction indicator lamp fault in 2024.
