2008 Volvo S60 2.4L Diesel · SX08 DDZ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 25 April 2024, but be aware that there is a significant gap of over two years to the current date in June 2026. You must confirm whether the car has been tested or used since this date, as the supplied history does not cover that period. The recorded mileage is 140,437 miles. While the long-term average usage is typical for an 18-year-old car, the history shows a sharp increase in activity, with nearly 29,000 miles added between the 2023 and 2024 tests alone. This high intensity of recent use suggests the vehicle has been subjected to significant wear and tear recently, which places extra stress on the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain. The mechanical trend appears stable regarding corrosion, but the extent of underbody corrosion is notable. Advisories consistently mention corrosion on the rear subframe mountings, multiple coil springs, MacPherson struts, and anti-roll bars. While testers have historically recorded this as not seriously weakened, the sheer volume of corroded components on the underside is a concern for long-term structural integrity. A specific risk to watch is the offside front suspension arm ball joint, which has been flagged for slight play in both the 2023 and 2024 tests. This persistent advisory indicates the component is wearing progressively and will likely require replacement soon to remain safe.
