2021 Volvo V60 R-Design B4 Mhev Auto 2.0L Electric diesel · PX71 XSA

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows the first signs of component degradation. The most recent MOT test conducted on 18 September 2025 at 45,285 miles passed the inspection but introduced new advisories that were absent in the previous year. This indicates that while the vehicle is currently sound, components are beginning to reach the end of their optimal service life and require monitoring. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between the September 2024 test at 36,628 miles and the September 2025 test at 45,285 miles, the car covered 8,657 miles. This steady usage suggests regular motorway driving rather than extreme urban stress or long periods of inactivity, which generally benefits the health of the engine and hybrid-related braking components. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the nearside rear shock absorber, as the light misting of oil recorded in 2025 indicates a failing seal that will eventually lead to a full leak. The advisory regarding cracking or perishing on two rear tyres suggests the rubber compound is beginning to degrade despite the relatively low mileage. These should be checked for deep sidewall cracks to ensure structural integrity is not compromised before the next inspection.
