Is the 2019 V60 getting worse?

Pass rate of 2019-registered cars across recent test years:

Test year	Pass rate
2023	87.7% -2.1 vs same-age
2024	87.1% -1.2 vs same-age
2025	86.1% -1.0 vs same-age

The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

FAQs

Is a 2019 Volvo V60 reliable?

2019-registered examples passed 87.0% of their MOT tests (10,121 tests, 2023–2025), -1.4 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 7 years old with a median 46,910 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.

What mileage is too high for a 2019 V60?

The median tested example shows 46,910 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
