2014 Volvo S60 2.0L Diesel · WN64 YJS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 June 2026 at 106,236 miles, but the test recorded near‑side front tyre wear close to the legal limit with a cut outer wall and near‑side rear tyre shoulder perishing. The maintenance trend shows a gradual deterioration in tyre condition, with early brake‑pad wear noted in November 2017 and intermittent engine‑management faults that cleared after a failure in April 2022. Overall, the car’s consumables are showing wear consistent with its mileage, while major mechanical issues have been resolved. Mileage accumulation has been steady, rising from 63,854 miles in February 2019 to 106,236 miles in June 2026—a rate of roughly 8,850 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 12‑year‑old vehicle. The record contains a notable gap in 2022 where an engine MIL failure at 80,744 miles was followed by a pass later that year, indicating a temporary fault that was rectified. The data set is otherwise continuous, with no extended periods without testing. A buyer should inspect the tyre condition closely, checking for the reported cut in the near‑side front tyre and the perishing of the near‑side rear shoulder, as these affect safety and fuel efficiency. Brake components merit examination, especially the front pads that were flagged thin in 2017, and the rear brakes should be checked for binding or uneven wear. The registration‑plate lamp circuits should be tested, given the repeated failures in 2025 and 2017, and the rough top‑mount bearing on the off‑side front should be assessed for suspension wear. Finally, a visual survey for rust or corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and underbody panels, will reveal any structural degradation not captured in the MOT advisories.
