Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a large
When inspecting this specific XC70, focus on the recent advisory from December 2025 regarding the nearside front tyre showing signs of cracking or perishing. You should check if this has been replaced or if it remains a point for price negotiation.
Given the 2.4L diesel engine, ensure you ask for evidence of regular oil changes, as high-mileage diesel engines are sensitive to maintenance. While the MOT records don't show recent suspension issues, the aggregate data for this model suggests checking ball joints and suspension arms, as these are common failure points across the wider XC70 fleet.
As a 2400cc diesel, this vehicle is designed for longer journeys and will offer better fuel economy on motorways than petrol equivalents. However, buyers should be aware of potential tax and insurance implications for a larger estate of this engine size.
Maintenance costs for a Volvo of this age typically involve periodic replacements of brake components and tyres, as evidenced by the 2023 MOT advisories for rear discs and pads. Expect annual running costs to be moderate, heavily influenced by your annual mileage and insurance group.
Directly address the December 2025 MOT advisory regarding the nearside front tyre; check all other tyres for similar cracking or uneven wear. Because the 2023 MOT noted worn rear brake discs and thinning pads, inspect the current state of the entire braking system to ensure they have been adequately serviced since.
Additionally, keep an eye on the registration plate; the MOT history shows it has deteriorated in two separate tests (2022 and 2023). Finally, although not recorded on this specific vehicle, the aggregate data for the XC70 highlights headlamps, suspension arms, and ball joints as common failure areas, so a thorough underside inspection is recommended.
This 2013 Volvo XC70, finished in black, has covered 114,030 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 7,851 per year, the recent MOT history shows no major failures in the last two years. The vehicle has experienced minor advisories related to tyres and brakes, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and usage.
Aggregate data for the Volvo XC70 shows a 79.9% average MOT pass rate, with common issues often relating to suspension components and lighting.
