Buying Tips for the 2017–2018 Volvo S60 (P3)
- ✓If it has Powershift, treat missing fluid-change history as a price-changing defect rather than a small service omission.
- ✓Late Drive-E and VEA engines deserve direct questions about oil use and top-ups, because some owners have faced expensive piston-ring work.
- ✓A suspension knock on an S60 is rarely just a cheap drop link by now, so budget properly if the front end feels loose or noisy.
