Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough insp
When viewing this specific vehicle, prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension components. The most recent failure involved a fractured nearside front coil spring, and a previous test noted oil misting on the offside front shock absorber. You should check if these components have been replaced with high-quality parts and if the work was documented.
Furthermore, the recurring advisories regarding tyre wear on edges suggest possible alignment issues. Ask the seller for evidence of recent wheel alignments or suspension servicing. Given the 2.4L diesel engine, ensure you check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay, though the MOT history does not specifically record engine-related failures.
The 2400cc diesel engine will generally offer decent motorway fuel economy, though running costs will be influenced by the vehicle's weight as a large SUV. Tax bands for this era of XC60 can vary depending on the specific CO2 emissions, so verify the exact monthly or annual rate.
Insurance groups for this model tend to be mid-to-high, reflecting its status as a premium SUV. Maintenance costs for a Volvo of this age can be higher than average, particularly regarding suspension and tyre replacements, which have appeared in this vehicle's MOT record. Expect an annual running cost in the region of £1,500-£2,000 depending on usage and insurance profile.
Focus heavily on the suspension and steering. The MOT history for DC65UVR specifically highlights a fractured nearside front coil spring (2026) and light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber (2025). Inspect all four shock absorbers for signs of leaking or misting to ensure the 2025 advisory has been fully rectified.
Additionally, examine the tyres and wheels. The vehicle has a history of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges (2023 and 2025). Check the current tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns that could indicate a persistent tracking or alignment problem. Finally, check the condition of the brake components, as these are common wear items on heavy SUVs.
This 2015 Volvo XC60 diesel, finished in grey, has covered 86,535 miles since its registration in December 2015. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre wear and suspension-related issues, including a fractured nearside front coil spring in early 2026. The mileage is higher than the model average of 8,945 miles per year, which is a key factor to consider.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 84.6% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including coil springs and tyres.
