2017 Volvo V60 2.0L Petrol · MX17 NWM

A history of intermittent failures related to external consumables and lighting defines this vehicle's MOT record, though the most recent test on 06 March 2026 shows a clean pass with no defects. While the overall trend shows a return to a defect-free status, the record includes a failure in 2025 for an incorrect offside front headlamp beam aim and a previous major failure in 2021 regarding a cut tyre reaching the cords. The occurrence of a tyre advisory for being worn on the edge in March 2025 suggests that while the vehicle is currently compliant, there have been instances where component wear or alignment issues have approached legal limits. The recorded mileage of 92,398 miles over approximately nine years equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 10,266 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK driving profiles for a vehicle of this age and suggests a steady rate of wear on mechanical components rather than extreme high-mileage stress or the potential degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. This level of usage generally implies that wear on consumables such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes will be commensurate with the vehicle's age, requiring a standard inspection of these items. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the tyre and alignment history noted in the 2025 records. The advisory for a nearside front tyre being worn on the edge can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension components. During a test drive, it is essential to check for any steering pull to one side on straight roads or a wandering sensation through the steering wheel. Additionally, listen for any knocking or clunking noises from the front end when navigating uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which could indicate worn suspension bushes or ball joints that may have contributed to uneven tyre wear. Given the previous failure regarding headlamp aim, a visual inspection of the headlight units is necessary to ensure there is no excessive play in the mounting brackets or issues with the leveling mechanisms. While the most recent 2026 MOT was clear, the history of tyre-related issues warrants a thorough check of the current tread depth and evenness across all four tyres. Any uneven wear patterns observed on the current set should be treated as a prompt to investigate the integrity of the steering and suspension geometry.
