2020 Volvo V60 Inscription + T5 Auto 2.0L Petrol · RO70 PNV

The vehicle achieved a pass certificate in July 2025, yet the maintenance trend regarding consumables appears to be deteriorating. The tester flagged four separate tyre defects, including sidewall damage and a nail, alongside rear brake pads wearing thin. While the car passed, these advisories suggest the previous owner delayed addressing basic wear items, allowing rear brake wear to persist from the 2024 inspection without remediation. Usage is exceptionally low, averaging under 3,800 miles annually. The odometer reading of 13,968 miles in July 2023 rose to just 22,244 miles by July 2025, covering roughly 8,300 miles over two years. This limited mileage often correlates with vehicles standing stationary for prolonged periods, which can degrade rubber components and cause brake discs to corrode or seize. The current MOT status requires immediate attention, as the July 2025 certificate is now nearly a year old and likely expired. A physical inspection must prioritise the braking system and tyres. The repeated advisories for rear brake wear indicate the pads and possibly the discs need immediate replacement to ensure the system is not binding or corroded. Tyre condition is critical; the sidewall damage noted in 2025 compromises structural integrity and necessitates replacement rather than repair. Inspect the spare wheel well and underside for signs of fluid leaks or corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dried seals or lack of use.
