2006 Volvo S60 2.4L Diesel · OV55 LWA

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-21 showed the vehicle passed, but several significant issues were recorded. Brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored, and front brake pads were thin. A corroded coil spring and body corrosion were also noted. These defects suggest ongoing wear on critical components, particularly braking and structural elements. While the pass indicates repairs may have been made, the presence of multiple defects highlights persistent maintenance needs. The prior MOT on 2026-04-02 resulted in a failure, revealing serious issues: excessive exhaust emissions, an ABS fault, incorrect headlamp aim, oil leaks, and a faulty anti-roll bar joint. The braking system also required adjustment. These problems indicate potential electrical, emission, and suspension failures, which could compromise safety and reliability. The gap between the failed and passed MOTs suggests repairs were addressed, but the recurrence of brake-related issues (e.g., discs, pads) and corrosion raises concerns about long-term durability. From 2023 to 2025, the MOT history shows a mix of minor and moderate defects.
