Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
Given the high mileage of over 154,000 miles, your primary focus should be on the service history, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt changes and gearbox maintenance. The 2.4L diesel engine is a substantial unit, but at this age and mileage, suspension components and fuel system integrity are critical areas to investigate.
When negotiating, consider the cost of upcoming maintenance. Use the MOT history to your advantage; the 2025 record noted a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that tyre replacement may be an immediate requirement. Ensure all recent work, including the repairs following the 2022 failure, has been documented.
As a 2.4L diesel SUV, running costs will be higher than a standard hatchback. Expect moderate fuel economy suitable for long-distance motorway driving, but higher consumption in urban environments. Tax bands for this engine size can be significant, and insurance groups for large Volvo SUVs typically sit in the middle to higher ranges.
Maintenance costs for this model tend to be higher due to the complexity of the 2400cc engine and the large wheel/tyre requirements. An estimated annual running cost, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £2,200-£2,800 depending on annual mileage.
Pay close attention to the tyres and braking system. The MOT history shows a pattern of issues here, including a 2022 failure for thin brake pads and low tyre tread, and a 2025 advisory for a rear tyre worn on the edge. This could indicate alignment issues or suspension wear.
Additionally, check the electrical components, specifically the headlamps, as the vehicle previously failed on a dipped beam issue. Given the model's aggregate data, it is also wise to inspect the coil springs and check for any signs of uneven tyre wear which might suggest steering or suspension geometry problems.
This 2013 black Volvo XC60 features a 2.4L diesel engine and has covered 154,590 miles as of its last MOT in April 2025. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,945 miles per year. The MOT history shows a mix of clean passes and a notable failure in early 2022 involving tyres, brakes, and lighting.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 84.6% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including coil springs and tyres.
