2004 Volvo S60 2.0L Petrol · OV54 AWY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend over the last three years. Following the most recent test in April 2026 at 146,940 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The transition from a failure in late 2022 to consecutive clean passes suggests the current owner is proactive in maintaining necessary safety standards. At 146,940 miles, this 22-year-old Volvo has averaged approximately 6,679 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage for its age. The mileage data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between December 2023 and February 2025, and another 7,300 miles between February 2025 and April 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often prevents seal degradation and fluid breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, specifically noting the December 2022 failure due to an excessively worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint. While this was rectified, the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of wear on other rubber bushes and coil springs. Additionally, the minor oil leak recorded in 2022 was noted as not excessive at the time, but a visual check of the engine block and sump area is necessary to ensure the leak has not worsened since the last inspection.
