2018 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · YN68 GYG

The 2018 Volvo V60 presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 20 October 2025 at 51,059 miles, passed with zero defects, indicating all safety-critical systems met DVSA standards at that time. The overall trend is one of consistent compliance, with only a single minor advisory raised across the entire five-year history. Mileage accumulation is steady and typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between the November 2021 test at 19,317 miles and the October 2025 test at 51,059 miles, the car covered approximately 31,742 miles over nearly four years, averaging roughly 7,900 miles annually. This is slightly above the lifetime average of 6,382 miles per year, suggesting the vehicle saw more regular use in recent years rather than sitting idle. No anomalous gaps or sudden jumps in odometer readings are present, supporting a continuous and genuine service history. The sole advisory appeared in the October 2024 test at 43,767 miles, when both front tyres were flagged for wear close to the legal limit and edge wear. This points to a minor lapse in tyre maintenance or alignment rather than a serious mechanical fault. Edge wear on the front tyres can indicate prolonged under-inflation or worn suspension geometry components such as tracking or worn suspension bushes. A prospective buyer should inspect the current tyre condition, including inner and outer edges, and check for uneven tread patterns that may suggest alignment or suspension issues. Given the clean 2025 result and low mileage, the car appears mechanically sound. However, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on the front suspension and steering components, including drop links, track rod ends, and wishbone bushes, as these commonly wear on the V60 platform. Brake discs and pads should be examined for uneven wear, and the underbody checked for corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and suspension mounting points. The absence of structural or braking defects in the record is reassuring, but a physical inspection remains advisable to confirm the vehicle's current condition.
