2012 Volvo S60 2.4L Diesel · LT62 BLN

The Volvo S60 passed its most recent MOT on 2026-05-22 with only a minor issue noted: slight seepage from the power steering pipe/hose. However, it failed the previous MOT on the same day due to a supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicating a fault, which was not addressed in the subsequent pass. Over the past few years, the vehicle has shown several recurring issues. In 2025, it failed due to significant brake wear on the offside rear, including worn brake discs and pads, a serious fluid leak from the offside rear shock absorbers, excessive play in the nearside front track rod end ball joint, and a rough offside front wheel bearing. These issues indicate substantial wear on critical safety components. In 2024, the car had worn rear tyres and slightly worn front brakes, suggesting ongoing wear on the braking system and tyres. The trend over the last few years shows a pattern of worsening mechanical condition, particularly in the braking system and suspension. The mileage of 141,436 miles over 14 years translates to approximately 10,103 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of its age. This suggests consistent use rather than periods of heavy use or prolonged under-use. Buyers should inspect the braking system thoroughly, paying close attention to the condition of the brake pads, discs, and calipers.
