2019 Volvo S60 Inscription + T5 Auto 2.0L Petrol · RL13 TRY

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 22 September 2025, continuing a consistent trend of roadworthiness. The history shows a very stable maintenance profile, with three consecutive clean passes prior to the latest test. This suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained and has not suffered from chronic mechanical failures or neglected structural issues, indicating a reliable ownership history. With 49,722 miles recorded over approximately seven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,100 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage pattern for a premium saloon, avoiding the excessive wear associated with high-mileage motorway vehicles while remaining active enough to prevent the common pitfalls of long-term standing. The drivetrain and suspension components should theoretically be in good condition, though consumables will still follow a standard wear cycle. Attention must be paid to the advisory noted in the latest MOT regarding a split top engine stabiliser bush. This component is critical for dampening engine vibrations and maintaining the alignment of the powertrain. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for unusual thuds during gear transitions or feel for excessive vibration through the steering wheel and chassis, particularly when the engine is under load or idling. If left unaddressed, a perished bush can increase wear on other engine mounts and affect the overall refinement of the T5 powerplant. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough physical inspection is recommended regardless of the clean MOT history. The buyer should examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or ozone cracking, as rubber degrades over time even if the tread depth remains legal. It is also advisable to check the brake discs for surface corrosion or lip formation and ensure the calipers are not binding. Finally, the service history should be verified to ensure that calendar-based fluid changes, such as brake fluid and coolant, have been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule to prevent internal corrosion.
