You'd have thought all the 'laundering' that goes on in some of these establishments, the possibility of catching something nasty would be pretty remote.LOL, surely not!
Tuesday I took one astra H 1.6 estate for MOT .it passed ,no advisoriesWow, good results!
then took my omega 2.6 for MOT , it passed ,no advisories
then late afternoon I took the Astra G 1.4 for MOT ,passed, no advisories

omega has a crack in the plastic side tank of the rad by battery ,weeps slightly when hot .
I've got a new rad from partsinmotion ,just need to find time to fit it
There was some variation with the thickness of the thermostat housing casting. Whether that variation extends to the seal as well I couldn't say, but it's been a while.
And to echo Stemos point, it's easy to get wrapped up in something to no benefit.

You'd want to see all the known area's and prod them with ascrewdriverMOT testers tool. Rear door is rotting in the usual place, I suspect the front legs and sills aren't much better.

Don't know which engine the V60 you're looking at has but one version of the 4 pot diesels that Volvo used suffered from[I think it had something to do with the piston rings] diesel finding its way into the sump and overfilling it.
Sir Tigs. V70 has a fair bit more Ford input than my earlier[P80 platform]phase 1 V70 and some say the phase 2 cars are not as robust because of it.
My V70 is Phase one as well Baza. 2004.
