2004 Volvo S60 2.4L Diesel · YM04 UPF

The vehicle failed its MOT on 2025-10-20 but passed on the subsequent test on 2025-11-25, indicating a mixed maintenance trend with some issues resolved but others persisting. Notably, the engine oil leak remained an ongoing concern, suggesting potential long-term mechanical issues. The vehicle's mileage of 126,732 miles over approximately 22 years equates to around 5,761 miles per year, which is relatively low. This low mileage could imply either infrequent use or periods of non-use, potentially reducing wear on consumables and major components. However, the significant gap between the 2024-11-04 test at 125,214 miles and the 2025-10-20 test at 126,608 miles suggests the vehicle may have been driven more intensively in the latter period, possibly leading to the increased number of faults identified. Buyers should focus on inspecting the suspension components, particularly the front track rod ends and ball joints, which showed excessive play and wear in multiple tests. Additionally, the rear parking brakes were found inoperative on both sides in the 2025-10-20 test, indicating a critical issue that needs immediate attention. The brake discs, especially on the rear, showed signs of wear and scoring, which could affect braking performance. Lastly, the engine oil leak, despite being noted as excessive only in the most recent test, is a persistent issue that may require addressing to prevent further damage to the engine.
