2014 Volvo V60 2.4L Diesel · WD14 OHK

The most recent MOT test on April 2, 2026, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, though with a single minor defect related to an offside rear position lamp. This marks a stable trend in the past year, as the previous two tests—April 2025 and May 2024—also passed without major failures. The absence of repeated structural or mechanical advisories suggests no worsening condition in critical systems, though the 2024 failure on May 3rd revealed a persistent ABS fault and an illegible rear registration plate, both of which were rectified before the subsequent pass. The 2023 advisory on corroded brake disc dust plates indicates minor corrosion, a common issue in older vehicles, but one that should be visually confirmed during inspection. The recorded mileage of 108,747 miles over approximately 12 years aligns with typical usage patterns for this age, averaging around 9,000 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, though the 2024 failure and pass within a month of each other suggests either a rushed repair or a test retake after addressing the ABS and registration issues. The consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has seen regular use rather than prolonged storage, which could imply more wear on high-stress components like suspension and brakes. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the anti-lock braking system, as the 2024 ABS advisory and failure indicate a recurring issue that may not have been fully resolved. The corroded brake disc dust plates from 2023 warrant close examination for rust penetration into the brake calipers or rotors, particularly on the offside rear. The rear tyres have shown wear close to the legal limit, so tread depth and edge wear should be checked for uneven wear patterns or damage. Finally, the registration plate’s illegibility in 2024 raises questions about potential tampering or neglect—verify its current legibility and ensure all V5C documentation matches the vehicle’s details.
