Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a
When viewing this specific V60, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record, as the MOT only confirms the vehicle met minimum roadworthiness standards at the time of testing. Given the 1969cc petrol engine, check for any signs of oil leaks or unusual engine noise that wouldn't necessarily trigger an MOT failure.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at 83,728 miles, it has been driven more than the model average of 9,160 miles per year. Ensure all consumables, such as tyres and brake pads, have sufficient tread and depth, as these are common failure points for this model type in the wider dataset.
As a 2.0L petrol model, running costs will be moderate. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style and load, but petrol engines of this size typically offer a balance between performance and efficiency. You should check the specific tax band for this 2018 registration to confirm annual road tax.
Insurance groups for Volvo V60s vary, so obtaining a quote is essential. Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should budget for regular servicing of the turbocharging components and cooling system as the vehicle approaches higher mileage brackets.
Pay close attention to the tyres and brake pads. While this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures, the aggregate data for this model shows these are the most frequent reasons for failure. Check for uneven tyre wear which could indicate suspension issues.
Additionally, inspect the driver's seat for wear or mechanical issues with the adjustment mechanisms, as 'driver seat' is identified as a top MOT failure reason for this model. Finally, check the underside for any signs of corrosion or leaks that may have been present but not flagged in previous tests.
This 2018 white Volvo V60 (AJ18KGV) has covered 83,728 miles since its registration in July 2018. The vehicle's MOT record is notable for having zero defects or failures across five consecutive tests dating back to 2022. While the mileage is slightly higher than the model average, the consistency of the pass rate is a positive indicator for a used petrol estate.
Aggregate data from 33,810 analysed vehicles shows an average MOT pass rate of 83.0%, with common issues relating to tyres, brakes, and driver seats.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- EGR and DPF Clogging on DieselsModerate
Frequent short journeys clog the EGR system and DPF, bringing flat performance, warning lights and expensive cleaning or replacement bills.
- VEA / Drive-E Oil ConsumptionSerious
Late V60 (P3) models with four-cylinder VEA engines can use oil heavily due to piston-ring design, requiring expensive engine work if not addressed.
- Tailgate Lock and Powered-Tailgate FaultsModerate
Estate-specific lock, loom and powered-tailgate problems can leave the V60 awkward to use and, in some cases, vulnerable to water-related electrical issues.
