2017 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · V60 NAF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 94,595 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple critical issues. The presence of an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light and a non-functional washer system suggests that the owner ignored mechanical warning signs until the MOT test forced action. This indicates a lack of basic preventative maintenance between official testing intervals. The usage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation between annual tests, moving from 66,047 miles in August 2023 to 81,579 miles in August 2024, and then to 87,786 miles by August 2025. This consistent mileage suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for preventing the degradation of rubber components and suspension bushings. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system. The history shows a recurring issue with disc pitting and scoring dating back to an advisory in 2023, which culminated in a failure in April 2026. The buyer should verify that the discs were actually replaced and check that the calipers are not binding or causing the uneven wear observed. Furthermore, the 2025 failure regarding tyre wear and perishing on the offside rear indicates that consumables have been neglected. A physical check of the engine management system is also essential to ensure the malfunction light flagged in 2026 has been properly rectified rather than simply cleared with a diagnostic tool.
