2019 Volvo V60 Momentum + T4 Auto 2.0L Petrol · RA69 OFK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 28 May 2026 confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects, though the advisory from the October 2025 test—regarding perishing rear tyres—has not been addressed. This suggests a stable mechanical condition with no worsening structural or drivetrain issues, but the persistent tyre advisories indicate deferred maintenance. The absence of defects in the latest test is reassuring, yet the 2025 rear tyre warnings imply a pattern of neglect, particularly if the same tyres remain in use. Buyers should verify whether the tyres have been replaced, as perishing rubber poses an immediate safety risk. The recorded mileage of 26,334 miles over seven years—roughly 3,762 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either limited use or prolonged periods off the road. There are no gaps in MOT testing beyond the standard 12-month intervals, but the low mileage raises questions about fluid changes, suspension preloading, and potential corrosion from static exposure. The 2023 and 2022 tests show no advisories, contrasting with the 2024 front tyre warnings and 2025 rear tyre issues, which may reflect a shift in maintenance habits rather than mechanical failure. A thorough inspection should prioritise the rear tyres, confirming they have been replaced or are free from perishing, cracking, or embedded debris. The front tyres from 2024 were worn close to the legal limit, so buyers should check for uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment or suspension issues. Given the low mileage, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering dampers should be examined for premature wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. The brakes were not flagged in recent tests, but binding calipers or excessive disc wear could develop without high mileage, so a functional test under braking is advisable. Structural integrity—particularly around wheel arches and sills—should also be assessed for hidden corrosion, as prolonged low-use conditions can accelerate rust.
