2013 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · RV13 CKX

The vehicle remains roadworthy as evidenced by its most recent MOT pass in March 2026 at 64,985 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance regarding hardware. While the latest test noted a noise from the offside rear handbrake caliper, the component still met operational requirements, suggesting that while a mechanical issue is present, it has not yet reached a point of critical failure. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 64,985 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,000 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent across the last four years, with roughly 4,000 miles driven between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests. Low mileage often implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation, such as rubber perish and fluid seals, particularly if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between journeys. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system, as the history shows recurring issues with thin pads in both 2022 and 2025. The 2024 test also flagged significant uneven wear on the front tyres, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes and bushings. A physical inspection of the offside rear handbrake caliper is necessary to ensure the reported noise is not indicative of a sticking piston or internal corrosion that could eventually lead to uneven disc wear and reduced braking efficiency.
