2009 Volvo S60 2.4L Diesel · NV09 JTY

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The most recent test in November 2025 at 111,778 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced advisories for both rear tyres being worn near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This represents a shift from the clean records seen in previous years, suggesting that while the core mechanical components sound, basic consumable safety items now require immediate attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Between October 2022 at 76,521 miles and October 2024 at 100,035 miles, the car covered roughly 23,500 miles, showing a slight but predictable usage rate. The lack of defects during the 2021 to 2023 period indicates that the structural integrity and primary mechanical systems remained well-preserved during a period where the vehicle was not subjected to the heavy stress typically associated with high-mileage commuting. A buyer should physically inspect the rear suspension geometry, as the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2025 test often points to worn bushes or misaligned camber settings. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for corrosion on the rear subframe and exhaust system is necessary, as the MOT record does not flag structural rust. While the 2024 failure for a fog light was a minor electrical issue, the recent transition to tyre advisories suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where more frequent maintenance of rubber components and fluids will be required to maintain its current standard.
