Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Focus on verifying the service history for the 2.4L diesel engine, specifically looking for evidence of regular oil changes. Given the December 2023 MOT failure for brake pads and perishing rear tyres, check for receipts confirming these consumables were replaced with quality parts. Ensure the brake pedal anti-slip provision, which caused a failure in 2023, has been permanently rectified.
Negotiate based on the age of the current tyres and brakes, as these were highlighted as weak points in the 2023 and 2024 records. Check for any evidence of recent work that aligns with the removal of the advisories seen in the 2024 test.
The 2.4L diesel engine is designed for efficiency over long distances, though it will attract a higher annual road tax than smaller engine variants. Insurance groups for the XC60 are typically mid-to-high, reflecting its premium positioning and engine capacity.
Maintenance costs for this model can be higher than average due to the cost of genuine Volvo parts. Expect higher expenditure on tyres and brakes given the weight of the vehicle and the history of wear seen in the MOT records.
Carefully inspect all four tyres, specifically looking for cracking or perishing on the rear axle, as this was a recurring advisory in 2023 and 2024. Check the brake pad thickness and the condition of the brake pedal, referencing the failure recorded in December 2023.
Additionally, inspect the coil springs for signs of corrosion or fractures, as these are listed as a top failure reason across the wider XC60 population. Check for any fluid leaks around the engine bay, typical for a diesel of this age and mileage.
This grey 2016 Volvo XC60 2.4L diesel has covered 85,660 miles, which is slightly below the model's average annual mileage. While it experienced one MOT failure in December 2023 due to worn brake pads and tyre issues, the two most recent tests in 2025 and 2026 were passed without any defects recorded.
The XC60 demonstrates a respectable average MOT pass rate of 84.6% across a large sample of 94,049 vehicles.
