Volvo V60 used buying guide

A stylish, comfortable estate with superb seats. Buy a fully documented later car and it will serve for years.

Medium riskTypical from ~£8,000

Common issues to watch

  • •Early 2.0 diesel (D3/D4) VEA cars suffer EGR cooler and pipe problems plus DPF issues; later cars use AdBlue.
  • •The 2.0-litre diesel cambelt must be changed on time and is costly — confirm the interval has been met.
  • •Infotainment/Sensus glitches, parking sensors and electrical faults appear, so check recalls are done.

What to check before you buy

  • Get evidence the cambelt service was carried out on schedule.
  • Check DPF and AdBlue health and look for EGR-related faults.
  • Test the infotainment and confirm outstanding recalls are closed.
