Our Verdict
This 2015 Volvo XC60 has a mixed MOT history and above-average mileage, making it a cautious purchase. While it has passed some inspections, recent failures highlight potential corrosion and suspension issues that require thorough checking.
Prioritise inspecting the central rear sub-frame for corrosion, coil springs for fractures, and brake discs for wear. Check service records for repairs to these components. Negotiate based on the 2025 MOT failures and high mileage. Be wary of hidden rust or unresolved suspension issues. Verify if the tyres were replaced as per the 2025 MOT notes.
Diesel fuel economy averages 35-40 mpg, but higher mileage may reduce efficiency. Tax in 2026 is £155 annually for diesel. Insurance group 15-20 could cost £1,000-£1,300 yearly. Suspension repairs (e.g., springs, brake discs) may add £300-£600 in maintenance. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,600.
Examine the central rear sub-frame for deep corrosion, check coil springs for fractures, and inspect brake discs for uneven wear. Look for rust in wheel arches and under the car. Verify tyre tread depth and condition, especially on the nearside front and rear tyres. Review service history for suspension or corrosion repairs.
The XC60 has covered 152,268 miles (11 years old) with a recent MOT failure citing corroded sub-frame, fractured coil springs, and worn brake discs. Earlier MOTs showed minor tyre wear, but the 2025 failure indicates structural and suspension concerns. No aggregate reliability data is available for this model.
No aggregate MOT data available for the 2015 Volvo XC60, but this vehicle's history suggests potential corrosion and suspension vulnerabilities common in older diesel SUVs.
