2017 Volvo V60 2.0L Petrol · NU67 CWZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT history reveals a significant lapse in braking system maintenance. While it passed the test on 21 October 2025 at 145,970 miles, the car had failed just four days prior at nearly the same mileage. The failure was comprehensive across all axles, citing significantly worn front and rear discs, thin rear pads, and an inoperative offside rear parking brake. This suggests a period of neglect that was only addressed immediately before the passing result. At nine years old, the 145,970 miles recorded represents a high usage profile, averaging approximately 16,200 miles per annum. The data shows consistent and heavy use, with 20,153 miles covered between the October 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 20,166 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This rapid accumulation typically indicates long-distance motorway driving, but it also correlates with the accelerated depletion of consumable components and suspension-related hardware. A potential buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly to ensure the recent repairs were executed correctly. Given the previous failure for thin pads and fluctuating service brakes, attention should be paid to potential heat damage or sticking calipers that may have caused the excessive wear on the discs. Furthermore, the 2023 advisory regarding edge tyre wear on the rear axle suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes which should be verified. At this high mileage, the condition of the artwork springs and rubber bushings is also a primary concern, as these components often reach their end-of-life during this interval.
