Our Verdict
A solid consideration for those seeking a high-mileage diesel saloon with a clean recent MOT record. While the mileage is significant, the lack of recorded defects in the last four years is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age.
When viewing this S60, focus on the service history to see how the 1984cc diesel engine has been maintained, particularly regarding timing belt intervals and oil changes. Because the MOT history shows no defects since 2022, you should verify if any preventative maintenance was carried out that didn't require an MOT inspection.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at over 154,000 miles, components like the suspension, clutch, and turbocharger may be nearing the end of their typical service life. Ask for proof of recent major service items to complement the clean MOT record.
As a 2.0L diesel, this S60 is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though running costs will be influenced by its age and emissions standards. You should check the specific Euro standard to determine if it is subject to ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges in your area.
Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a large diesel saloon. Insurance groups for this model vary depending on the specific trim, and maintenance costs for a Volvo of this vintage should be budgeted for higher than a standard hatchback, particularly for specialist parts.
Since the MOT history from 2022 to 2025 shows no recorded defects, there are no specific failure patterns to warn you about on this particular car. However, you should perform a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyres, as these are common areas for advisories even when no failures are recorded.
Check the engine bay for any signs of oil leaks around the 1984cc diesel unit and inspect the underside for corrosion. Given the mileage, pay close attention to the condition of the suspension bushings and shock absorbers, which are not always highlighted in a standard MOT pass if they are still within legal limits.
This 2010 Volvo S60, finished in red, has covered 154,684 miles as of its last MOT in April 2025. The vehicle has a consistent history of passing its MOT tests without any recorded defects or failures since at least mid-2022. Given its 1.9L diesel engine and age, it represents a high-mileage example that has maintained a clean testing record over the last four years.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Volvo S60 model to provide a comparative statistical overview.
