2018 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · NK68 LCN

An unusually low mileage profile defines this vehicle's history, which shows a transition from a dangerous failure in late 2022 to a clean pass in the most recent test on 28 November 2025. While the recent record is free of defects, a pattern of wear emerged in the 2024 inspection, where both nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes were flagged as worn. This indicates that while the vehicle currently meets the minimum requirements for roadworthiness, there is a documented history of component degradation within the front suspension assembly. The recorded mileage of 22,108 miles over approximately eight years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 2,764 miles. This usage pattern is significantly lower than the UK average and suggests the vehicle has spent considerable periods stationary or has been used only for very short, infrequent journeys. Mechanically, such low usage can mean that while drivetrain and engine components may show minimal wear, other systems such as seals, rubber components, and suspension bushings may be subject to age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front suspension geometry and the condition of the rubber bushings, given the advisories recorded in late 2024. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic knocking, clunking, or creaking sounds when navigating uneven road surfaces or turning the steering wheel at low speeds, as these are common symptoms of worn suspension arm pins or bushes. Additionally, check for any unexpected steering pull or instability that might indicate the previously flagged wear has progressed or that other steering linkages require attention. The 2022 failure regarding front tyre tread depth below the 1.6mm legal limit and the advisory for a nail in the nearside rear tyre highlight a period where consumable items were at the end of their service life. Although these specific issues appear to have been rectified, the low annual mileage necessitates a thorough inspection of all tyres for flat-spotting or uneven wear patterns, which can occur when a vehicle sits idle for extended periods. Ensure all tyres have adequate tread and show no signs of cracking or sidewall deterioration before proceeding.
