Our Verdict
Exercise caution due to high mileage and
Given the high mileage of over 156,000 miles, you should prioritise checking the service history for evidence of major component changes, such as the timing belt and water pump. The MOT history shows several instances of tyre-related failures and brake disc wear, so ensure that all four tyres are currently in good condition with sufficient tread depth and no sidewall damage.
Negotiate based on the maintenance required to address previous failures. Specifically, ask for proof that the CV gaiter and the rear brake discs mentioned in the 2024 MOT failure have been replaced. Because this is a 2.0L diesel XC60, check for any signs of oil leaks or excessive smoke, which can be common in high-mileage diesel engines.
As a 1984cc diesel, this XC60 will likely fall into a mid-range insurance group and tax band typical for premium SUVs of this era. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but diesel engines of this size are generally more efficient for long-distance motorway cruising.
Maintenance costs for a high-mileage Volvo can be higher than average due to the complexity of its components. Expect to budget for regular servicing and potential repairs to suspension or braking systems, which have appeared in its MOT record. The estimated annual running cost is reflective of high mileage usage.
You must closely inspect the suspension components. The 2023 MOT recorded a fractured offside rear coil spring, so check for any signs of uneven ride height or knocking sounds when driving over bumps. Additionally, the 2024 MOT noted a holed CV gaiter; inspect the drive shafts for any grease leakage or torn rubber boots.
Check the condition of the tyres thoroughly. The vehicle has a history of failures involving perished, cut, or worn-edge tyres (recorded in 2023 and 2024). Finally, examine the brake discs for pitting or scoring, as the 2024 test identified worn rear discs. Ensure the braking system feels smooth and does not vibrate under heavy use.
This 2013 white Volvo XC60 diesel has covered 156,854 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. The vehicle's history shows a pattern of failures related to tyres, brake discs, and suspension components, including a fractured coil spring in 2023. While the 2025 MOT passed without defects, the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,945 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 84.6% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including coil springs and tyres.
