2021 Volvo V60 Inscription B4 Mhev Auto 2.0L Electric diesel · SL52 DAD

The Volvo V60 holds a fully current MOT, having passed on 9 June 2026 at 32,718 miles with only a single minor defect. That defect, an offside front windscreen wiper blade, is a consumable item and carries no mechanical significance. The overall maintenance trend is stable and broadly improving. The vehicle failed a test on 20 June 2025 due to a damaged offside rear tyre, yet cleared a retest on the same day, indicating the previous owner addressed the issue promptly. Prior to that, the 2024 test flagged inner edge wear on both front tyres, suggesting possible alignment or suspension bush wear that appears to have been corrected, as no related advisories or failures have since reappeared. The mileage accumulation of roughly 6,544 miles per year is typical for a vehicle of this age and does not raise concerns about excessive use or prolonged standing. The record shows consistent annual testing around June each year, with no significant gaps in the MOT schedule. Mileage progression from 24,189 in June 2024 to 28,331 in June 2025 and then to 32,718 in June 2026 confirms steady, predictable use across all three years. A buyer should still inspect the front suspension components, specifically the track rod ends, wishbone bushes, and anti-roll bar links, given the inner tyre wear noted in 2024. Although the subsequent clean tests suggest a resolution, confirming the alignment remains within specification would be prudent. The rear braking system also warrants a brief check, as the 2025 failure involved the offside rear tyre rather than a brake fault, but uneven rear brake binding or caliper drag can sometimes contribute to localised tyre damage. Beyond these points, the record presents a well-maintained vehicle with no structural corrosion, exhaust emission, or recurring mechanical defects flagged across its entire history. The only action required before purchase is a routine inspection of the tyre sidewalls and a test of the front wiper blade, which is likely already due for replacement.
