2010 Volvo V50 1.6L Diesel · RO60 JFG

This Volvo V50 presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile. The most recent MOT on 11 February 2026 at 162,364 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This mirrors the outcomes of the previous three annual tests, indicating a vehicle that is currently maintained to a high standard of roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It covered 9,090 miles between February 2025 and February 2026, and 3,084 miles between March 2024 and February 2025. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber seals. The record shows a minor anomaly on 15 March 2023, where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at 145,708 miles, though the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a very minor rectification. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must remain vigilant regarding the vehicle's age and total mileage. The absence of advisories over the last four years is unusual for a sixteen year old car with 162,364 miles. You should manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these components typically degrade regardless of MOT outcomes. Check for signs of structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as surface rust often precedes the structural failure that triggers an MOT fail. Verify the condition of the brake discs and tyres to ensure they have not been stretched beyond their optimal lifespan. While the DVSA record is flawless, a physical check of the service history is necessary to confirm that oil changes and timing belt intervals have been adhered to.
