2019 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · WV19 OUJ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in November 2025, but the history reveals a sudden onset of wear issues immediately prior to that pass. The car actually failed the MOT just three days earlier due to a serious fluid leak on the nearside rear shock absorber and worn rear brake discs. The trend appears to be shifting from a stable, clean history to one requiring active maintenance. The vehicle had a completely clear record until late 2024, but it then covered approximately 14,000 miles in a single year. This significant increase in annual mileage likely accelerated the wear on the suspension and braking components, causing the recent failure. While the shock absorber leak was addressed to secure the pass, the rear brake discs were listed again as worn, pitted, or scored on the pass certificate. This strongly suggests the discs were not replaced and are now in a borderline condition, meaning you will likely need to pay for brake work very soon. The recorded mileage of roughly 70,500 miles is typical for a seven-year-old car, averaging about 10,000 miles per year. However, the recent spike in usage suggests the car is currently being used heavily, rather than sitting idle, which implies standard wear rates rather than deterioration from neglect. When inspecting the car, you should prioritize checking the rear brake discs and pads to assess their remaining life.
