Our Verdict
Caution is advised due to high mileage a
Prioritise a review of the service history for the 2.4L diesel engine, specifically checking for timing belt and water pump replacements, which are critical at this mileage. Request invoices for the work carried out in June 2026 to confirm that the front brake discs, pads, and rear suspension bushes were replaced with quality components rather than temporary fixes.
Given the high mileage and the pattern of failures occurring just before MOT deadlines, negotiate the price to account for upcoming maintenance. Ensure there is evidence of regular oil changes, as high-mileage diesels require strict adherence to service intervals to maintain engine longevity.
The 2400cc diesel engine provides strong torque and motorway efficiency, but it will attract a higher annual road tax and insurance premium than smaller engine variants. Fuel economy will be typical for a large diesel SUV, though urban driving will be less efficient.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this model. The MOT history indicates a high frequency of wear-and-tear replacements, such as tyres, brakes, and suspension components, which will contribute to a higher annual upkeep budget.
Perform a detailed inspection of the rear suspension and chassis, as this vehicle has a history of fractured coil springs (2025) and worn suspension arm pins and bushes (2026). Check the front offside drive shaft CV boot, which was noted as severely deteriorated in 2024, to ensure it has been replaced.
Verify the current condition of the brakes and tyres. Despite the June 2026 pass, the vehicle failed on front discs, front and rear pads, and multiple tyres just one day prior, so confirming the quality and brand of these replacements is essential.
This blue 2015 Volvo XC60 2.4D has covered 147,239 miles, which is significantly above the model average. The MOT history reveals a recurring theme of suspension and braking failures, including a comprehensive list of defects in June 2026 and fractured coil springs in 2025. It is a high-usage example of a model where coil spring failure is a known aggregate trend.
The XC60 has an average MOT pass rate of 84.6%, with coil springs and tyres identified as top failure reasons across the model range.
