Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the very low annual mileage, you should carefully examine the service history to ensure oil and filter changes were performed based on time intervals rather than just mileage. Check for any signs of battery degradation or perished rubber components, which can occur when a vehicle is used infrequently.
Negotiate based on the recent MOT advisory regarding the rear brake pads. These will likely require replacement soon, and obtaining a quote for this work can provide a fair basis for a price adjustment.
As a 2.0L petrol SUV, this XC60 will have higher fuel costs than its diesel counterparts, particularly in urban environments. Insurance will typically fall into a mid-to-high group, and road tax will be based on its original CO2 emissions for a 2018 registration.
Maintenance costs for Volvo are generally moderate, though parts can be more expensive than for mass-market brands. Expect annual costs to be higher if the vehicle is returned to more regular, higher-mileage use.
Prioritise an inspection of the rear brake pads, as the September 2025 MOT test explicitly flagged them as wearing thin. Check the condition and age of the tyres; while not flagged in the MOT, tyres on low-mileage cars can perish or 'flat-spot' over time.
Additionally, inspect the coil springs for any signs of corrosion or cracking, as these are identified as a top failure reason for the XC60 across aggregate MOT data. Ensure the blue paintwork is checked for any age-related fading or stone chips.
This 2018 blue Volvo XC60 petrol has covered 36,033 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. Its MOT history shows five tests with no failures, though the most recent 2025 test noted wearing rear brake pads. The vehicle presents as a low-usage example of the 1969cc petrol variant.
The XC60 has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 84.6% across nearly 94,000 vehicles analysed.
