2012 Volvo V60 2.0L Diesel · YY62 NTL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a persistent failure to address known suspension wear issues. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 183,493 miles, the car passed despite recurring advisories for corrosion on both rear coil springs. This specific issue has been flagged in three consecutive annual inspections, dating back to November 2023, suggesting that while the components remain functional, they have not been replaced despite clear signs of environmental degradation. At 183,493 miles, this 14-year-old artwork has covered significant distance, averaging approximately 13,100 miles per year. The mileage data shows consistent and rapid accumulation, with roughly 4,800 miles covered between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests, and another 5,800 miles in the year preceding 2024. This high level of use correlates with the accelerated wear observed on rubber components and suspension hardware noted throughout the inspection history. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the history shows a 패턴 of worn offside front suspension arm bushes and ball joints noted in 2022 and 2024. Additionally, the failure in 2023 due to a damaged track rod end dust cover highlights a need to check the steering linkage for play or leaks. The recurring inner-edge wear on the offside front tyre in 2023 also suggests a potential alignment issue that should be verified to prevent premature tyre failure.
