Our Verdict
This 2015 Volvo V60 diesel is generally a sound used buy, but the MOT failure in July 2022 for an inoperative engine warning light should be investigated before purchase. With four clean passes and only one minor failure, it is worth considering if the issue has been properly resolved.
Before buying this Volvo V60, ask the seller for proof that the July 2022 MOT failure for the inoperative engine warning light was properly repaired, as the same-day pass suggests a quick fix but not necessarily a diagnosis of the underlying cause. A diagnostic scan should be carried out to check for stored fault codes relating to the engine management system. Given the 1,969cc diesel engine, confirm the DPF (diesel particulate filter) has been maintained through regular longer journeys, and review the service history for cambelt and oil change intervals.
As a 2015 diesel V60 with a 1.969-litre engine, this car is likely to return reasonable fuel economy, though exact figures are not provided in the data. Road tax for a diesel of this size and age typically falls into a higher CO2 band, and insurance will reflect its estate body style and executive positioning. Routine maintenance such as servicing and consumables should be budgeted alongside fuel, tax and insurance, with no model-specific cost data available to refine the estimate.
The MOT history shows a failure on 27 July 2022 at 87,758 miles for an engine MIL inoperative or indicating a malfunction (8.2.2.2 (g)), so check that the dashboard warning light illuminates on start-up and clears correctly, and verify no engine management faults remain. Inspect the bodywork and white paint for stone chips or corrosion given the car's age and mileage of nearly 88,000 at last test. Review brake and tyre condition even though no defects were recorded, as the last MOT was over four years ago relative to today's date and wear may have occurred since.
The white 2015 Volvo V60 (YR65ABU) shows a consistent service and MOT pattern with passes in 2019, 2020, 2021 and a 2022 pass on the same day as a failure. Mileage has risen from 52,280 in September 2019 to 87,758 by July 2022, averaging roughly 11,800 miles per year. The only recorded defect is an engine MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) issue flagged on 27 July 2022, which was corrected the same day. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so the assessment relies solely on this vehicle's own history.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Volvo V60, so this assessment is based solely on the individual vehicle's recorded history.
