Our Verdict
A versatile diesel SUV that remains func
Prioritise investigating the engine management light (MIL) failure recorded on 17th April 2026. Request the diagnostic report and proof of the specific repair to ensure the underlying fault was corrected rather than just cleared. Given the mileage, you should also verify if the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as these are critical maintenance items for this 2.0L diesel engine.
Negotiate based on the vehicle's high mileage and the history of wear-and-tear issues. Check the service records to see if the rear brake discs and pads, which were flagged as worn in April 2025, have been replaced or merely patched, as this affects your immediate post-purchase costs.
The 1969cc diesel engine provides a balance of power and efficiency for long-distance driving, though fuel economy will vary based on city versus motorway use. Tax is determined by the 2015 CO2 emissions bracket, and insurance groups for the XC60 are generally moderate, though the high mileage may impact some premiums.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this age, given the recurring MOT advisories for tyres and brakes. Expect to budget for periodic replacements of these consumables and the general upkeep associated with a vehicle exceeding 120,000 miles.
Specifically inspect the offside rear passenger door to ensure the locking mechanism is fully operational following the failure in April 2026. Check the condition and tread depth of all tyres, as the 2024 MOT noted multiple tyres were worn close to the legal limit or damaged.
Perform a thorough check of the braking system, particularly the rear discs and pads which were noted as wearing thin in 2025. Finally, verify that the headlamps are correctly aimed, as both the nearside and offside lamps were found to be too high during the 2025 inspection.
This white 2015 Volvo XC60 has covered 120,629 miles, which is above the model average. The MOT history reveals a pattern of failures related to braking systems, lighting, and a recent engine management light issue, although it passed its most recent test in April 2026 with no recorded defects.
The XC60 maintains a solid aggregate MOT pass rate of 84.6%, with coil springs and tyres being the most frequent failure points across the wider model population.
