The V70 had been suspended for several months<\/strong>, although it was kept on a trickle charger and warmed up weekly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even so, it\u2019s important that the car remains on standby and has a valid APK inspection<\/strong>, so the suspension can be lifted digitally with just a few clicks\u2014allowing the V70 to legally return to the road (and, of course, letting the Dutch government happily collect diesel tax again 😉).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it was time for the 2024 APK inspection<\/strong>. During the check, the inspector noted that the left front wheel didn\u2019t spin freely enough<\/strong>, but after some persuasion it was deemed to be within acceptable limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, once the V70 was registered as approved, a random RDW inspection<\/strong> was triggered. After waiting an hour, the RDW inspector arrived\u2014and concluded that the wheel did not spin freely enough after all<\/strong>. Moving the car, braking, and placing it back on the lift likely caused the already weak brake caliper to seize again<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Result:<\/strong> the APK approval was withdrawn, and action had to be taken on the brake caliper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The left front brake caliper was replaced<\/strong>, after which the V70 passed its re-inspection<\/strong> and is once again fully operational if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the right brake caliper is just as old<\/strong>, it will be replaced in the near future as well. Unfortunately, the right caliper was not available in time for the (free) re-inspection. For now, the right side has received new brake pads<\/strong>, and the caliper will be replaced later once parts are available\u2014the re-inspection appointment was already scheduled<\/p>\n\n\n\n
