Our Verdict
A cautious recommendation for buyers see
Given the 150,511 miles on the clock, the primary focus should be on the engine's service history. Verify when the timing belt and water pump were last replaced, as these are critical maintenance items for the 1984cc petrol engine. Ensure there is a documented trail of oil changes to support the vehicle's high mileage.
Negotiate the price based on the vehicle's age and the fact that it has exceeded the average annual mileage for S60s. Check for any signs of wear in the interior and ensure all electrical components are functioning, as older executive cars can develop intermittent faults.
The 2.0L petrol engine will result in higher fuel costs and a higher road tax bracket compared to modern downsized engines. Maintenance costs for a Volvo of this age typically involve replacing wear-and-tear items such as brake pads and tyres, which are common failure points for this model.
Insurance groups for the S60 are generally moderate, but the age of the car may affect the available coverage. Expect a total annual expenditure covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing to be significant.
Carefully inspect the front suspension and steering gear; the 2024 MOT noted slight play in the offside front track rod end ball joint. Although the 2025 test was clean, this is a known wear point. Test the parking brake thoroughly, as the 2021 MOT record shows it only just met the minimum efficiency requirements.
Additionally, check the condition of the headlamps and tyres. These are among the top failure reasons for the S60 across the wider fleet data and should be examined for degradation or uneven wear that could indicate alignment issues.
This silver 2008 Volvo S60 has a recorded MOT history showing five consecutive passes since 2021. The vehicle has covered 150,511 miles, which is slightly higher than the average for this model. While the most recent test in September 2025 was clear of defects, previous records indicate minor issues with the parking brake and steering components.
The Volvo S60 has an average MOT pass rate of 79.7%, with common failures typically limited to consumables like headlamps, tyres, and brake pads.

- AW55 automatic gearbox flare and valve-body wearSerious
Five-speed automatics can flare between gears, thump into drive or slip once warm if fluid changes have been ignored.
- PCV system blockage and oil leaksModerate
Five-cylinder petrol engines build crankcase pressure when the breather system blocks, pushing oil out of seals and making the engine smoky or sweaty.
