Our Verdict
This Volvo V60 represents a potentially solid purchase due to its consistent MOT record. However, buyers should verify the service history to complement the clean inspection data.
When considering this specific V60, your first priority should be to request the service history. While the MOT records show no mechanical failures, an MOT is a snapshot of roadworthiness and does not confirm that regular oil changes or scheduled maintenance have been performed on the 2953cc petrol engine.
Negotiate based on the age of consumables. Even with a clean MOT, components like tyres, brake pads, and wipers may be nearing the end of their life depending on when they were last replaced. Check the service book specifically for intervals related to the timing belt/camshaft if applicable to this specific engine variant.
The running costs for this V60 will be influenced significantly by its large 2.9L petrol engine. Expect higher fuel consumption compared to smaller-displacement diesel or hybrid alternatives, particularly in stop-start urban driving.
Insurance groups for high-capacity Volvo estates tend to be mid-to-high, so obtain a quote using the YU05FFF registration before committing. Maintenance costs will likely reflect the premium nature of the brand, with parts and specialist labour being more expensive than for mainstream economy brands.
Since the MOT history shows no recorded defects from 2022 to 2025, there are no specific failure patterns to alert you to. You should, however, conduct a thorough visual inspection of the blue paintwork for any signs of stone chipping or fading, which can be common on higher-mileage vehicles.
Pay close attention to the underside of the car and the suspension components. While no MOT failures were noted, a physical inspection can reveal weeping seals or worn bushings that have not yet reached the threshold of an MOT failure. Additionally, check all electronic systems and the infotainment unit, as these are common points of interest in modern Volvos.
This 2016 blue Volvo V60 with the 2.9L petrol engine has covered 65,226 miles as of its last MOT in August 2025. The vehicle has a documented history of four consecutive MOT passes since 2022, with no recorded defects or failures in any of those tests. Given its age, the mileage appears to be consistent with typical usage for a premium estate of this type.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific Volvo V60 model to provide a statistical comparison.
