Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspection. While the most recent MOT was a clean pass, previous records indicate recurring issues with braking components and suspension wear.
When viewing this S60, prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The October 2025 MOT failure specifically highlighted a deteriorated nearside rear anti-roll bar drop link bush and scored brake discs; you should verify that these specific components were not just repaired, but replaced with quality parts.
Ask the seller for evidence of the work carried out between the October 2025 failure and the July 2026 pass. Given the previous advisory regarding worn inner tyre edges in 2023, it is also prudent to check the current tyre tread depth and ensure the wheel alignment is correct to prevent premature wear.
As a 2.0L diesel, this S60 is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though running costs will depend on your annual mileage. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of a premium diesel saloon.
Maintenance costs for Volvo models can be higher than for mainstream brands due to parts pricing. Budget for regular servicing and potential upcoming costs related to the braking system or suspension, given the wear noted in recent MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, sit in the mid-range for this vehicle class.
Focus your inspection on the nearside rear suspension area. The MOT history explicitly noted a cracking anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush in late 2025, so listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces.
Check the condition of the brake discs and pads. The vehicle has had advisories and failures related to brake pad thickness (2024) and disc scoring (2025). Ensure the braking feels smooth and free from pulsations. Additionally, because the 2025 MOT noted that manufacturer undertrays prevented full inspection of certain areas, ask if any underside access was performed during recent servicing to check for corrosion or leaks.
This 2017 grey Volvo S60 diesel has covered 79,537 miles as of its last MOT in July 2026. The MOT history shows a mix of results, including a failure in October 2025 due to headlamp aim, brake disc scoring, and a worn anti-roll bar bush. While the 2026 test was successful with no defects, the vehicle's history reflects typical wear-and-tear patterns for a car of this age and mileage.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.7% average MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, tyres, and brake pads.
