2012 Volvo V60 1.6L Diesel · ST62 LXU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its history of clean MOT results. The most recent test on 20 January 2026 at 130,985 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern seen in 2025 and 2024, where the absence of recorded advisories or failures across three consecutive years suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets basic safety and environmental requirements. The mileage progression is consistent with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,350 miles per year. The car covered roughly 14,000 miles between the January 2024 test at 96,565 miles and the January 2025 test at 110,588 miles, followed by another 20,400 miles leading into the 2026 test. This steady accumulation indicates regular road use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and internal fluid components. While the MOT record is clean, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to high-mileage wear on a Volvo V60 of this age. Given the 130,000-mile mark, the buyer should examine the condition of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs, as these often perish before triggering an MOT failure. One should also check for brake caliper corrosion and the remaining thickness of the brake discs and pads, as the MOT does not measure remaining life until they reach a critical failure threshold.
