Our Verdict
This is a solid option for those seeking a larger diesel SUV, provided the service history matches the relatively clean MOT record. The recent history of passes without defects is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age.
When inspecting this specific 2.4L diesel XC60, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the larger engine has received regular oil changes. While the MOT history is relatively clean, the 2023 failure suggests there may have been a minor mechanical or safety issue that required attention; ask the seller for the specific reason for that failure.
Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle; at nearly 13 years old, rubber components like suspension bushings and belts may be due for replacement regardless of the mileage. Check the condition of the white paintwork for any signs of significant stone chipping or fading, which can be common on higher-mileage SUVs.
As a 2400cc diesel, this XC60 will sit in a higher insurance group and tax band compared to smaller crossovers. Fuel economy will be heavily dependent on driving style and load, though the 2.4L engine is designed for steady motorway cruising.
Maintenance costs for a premium Volvo can be higher than for mainstream brands, particularly for engine-related components. Expect annual running costs to be moderate to high, covering fuel, insurance, and a budget for the more expensive parts associated with a large diesel engine.
Given the MOT history, there are no recurring patterns of failure like brake wear or tyre issues to highlight, but you should still inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion. The 2023 failure occurred at 82,518 miles; although no defect was recorded in the summary, it is worth confirming what was rectified to ensure it wasn't a recurring issue.
Check the electronic systems and the condition of the diesel particulate filter (DPF), as these are common points of interest for high-mileage diesel SUVs. Ensure all lights and wipers are functioning correctly, as these are common MOT minor fail points.
This 2013 white Volvo XC60 features a 2.4L diesel engine and has covered 85,059 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of testing, with a single failure recorded in December 2023 at 82,518 miles, which was resolved within three days. Since that failure, the vehicle has achieved two consecutive passes with no defects recorded.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific model to provide a comparative benchmark.
