2015 Volvo S60 2.0L Diesel · YP65 BVA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on 13 May 2026 at 108,086 miles, it failed just weeks prior due to multiple safety defects. The recurring presence of engine Malfunction Indicator Lamps (MIL) in both 2025 and 2026 suggests a persistent electronic or sensor issue that the previous owner struggled to resolve effectively until forced by the MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap of nearly 9,000 miles between April 2024 and March 2025, followed by another 9,800 miles in the final year. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use, yet the frequency of failures indicates that components are only being addressed once they reach the point of failure. A buyer must focus on the suspension and braking system due to a clear history of worn, pitted, and scored brake discs across all axles over the last three years. The repeated reports of uneven wear on the inner edges of the tyres in 2025 and 2026 point to a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require immediate inspection. Furthermore, the presence of mismatched tyre sizes on the front and rear axles noted in the 2026 test indicates a disregard for basic safety standards and could affect vehicle handling and braking performance.
