Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seeking a diesel estate with a relatively clean recent history. The vehicle has shown no defects in its three most recent MOT tests, suggesting recent compliance with UK road standards.
When inspecting this 2.0L diesel V60, focus on the service intervals. While the MOT history is clean, the MOT test itself does not confirm if the engine oil and filters have been changed according to Volvo's requirements. Ask for evidence of a stamped service book or digital service records.
Given that this is a diesel model, check for any signs of excessive soot around the exhaust or hesitation during acceleration, which can sometimes relate to DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) health if the car has only been used for short urban trips. Ensure the timing belt/cam belt replacement interval has been noted, as these are critical for the 1969cc engine.
As a 2.0L diesel, this V60 is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, likely offering competitive fuel economy compared to petrol equivalents. You should check the specific Euro emissions standard to determine its compatibility with Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) or Clean Air Zones (CAZ).
Maintenance costs for Volvo components tend to be higher than for mainstream brands like Ford or Vauxhall. Expect typical running costs to include moderate insurance premiums and standard diesel fuel prices. Annual running costs are estimated to be mid-range for a premium estate of this age.
Review the MOT history carefully; while this specific vehicle has had a clean run recently, the aggregate data for this model shows that tyres, brake pads, and driver's seats are common failure points. Check the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and inspect the brake pads and discs for uneven wear.
Additionally, check the driver's seat adjustment mechanisms and upholstery, as seat-related issues are a documented failure reason for this model type in the wider dataset. Finally, verify the condition of the suspension components, as the weight of a diesel estate can put significant stress on bushings and dampers over time.
This 2018 Volvo V60, finished in grey, has covered 62,215 miles since its first registration in September 2018. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, with the most recent test in February 2026 recording no defects. While it experienced a failure at 41,253 miles in June 2024, it has cleared all subsequent inspections without issue.
Aggregate data from over 33,000 Volvo V60s shows an average MOT pass rate of 83.0%, with common issues relating to tyres, brakes, and seating.
