Used Volvo XC60 for sale in Europe

About the Volvo XC60

The Volvo XC60 is a mid-size premium SUV. It sits below the XC90 and is sold as a five-seat family car with a large boot and a focus on safety equipment. It suits buyers who want a comfortable estate-like cabin with a higher driving position, and who may do motorway miles or carry a family.

Listings cover two generations. The first was built from 2008 and the second from 2017. Diesel and petrol engines have been common throughout. Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive were both offered, with manual and automatic gearboxes on earlier cars and mainly automatics later.

Later cars add mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions. Trim levels, wheel sizes and driver-assistance packages differ a lot between markets, so compare the exact specification of each car rather than the model name alone.

Generations

• First generation (2008-2017) — The original XC60 was a five-door SUV offered with diesel and petrol engines, including five-cylinder diesels and later four-cylinder units, and with front-wheel or all-wheel drive.
• Second generation (2017-present) — Built on Volvo's SPA platform, it has a new interior with a portrait touchscreen and a range that now includes mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions.

What to check when buying a used Volvo XC60

Ask for the full service history and check it against the mileage. Take a test drive that includes a cold start, low-speed manoeuvres and some motorway driving, and scan for stored fault codes if you can.

• Service history and records

  Look for regular oil changes at the intervals Volvo specifies, plus brake fluid and gearbox servicing. Missing records matter more on cars with high mileage. Ask whether software updates and any open recall work have been done by a dealer.

• Five-cylinder diesel upkeep · First generation diesel

  The five-cylinder diesels use a timing belt, so check when it and the water pump were last replaced. Also ask about the particulate filter and EGR system, especially if the car has mostly done short trips.

• Rear drive coupling service · All-wheel drive

  Many all-wheel-drive cars use a coupling at the rear axle that needs periodic fluid service. Ask for proof it has been done. Listen for noises or hesitation when pulling away on a tight turn.

• Corrosion and underbody · First generation

  Inspect sills, wheel arches, tailgate edges and underbody parts for rust, and check older cars for stone-chip damage. Look at suspension bushes and wishbones, and listen for knocks over uneven roads.

• Infotainment and driver aids · Second generation

  Test the touchscreen, navigation, phone connection and camera views. Check that no warning lights are showing for the driver-assistance systems. A windscreen replaced without correct sensor calibration can cause faults.

• Charging and hybrid system · Plug-in hybrid versions

  Check the charging cable, the charge port and any charge history you can see. Confirm the car charges and switches between electric and petrol drive smoothly. Ask for dealer records of any hybrid system warnings.

• Rear suspension height · Cars with air suspension

  Some second-generation cars have optional rear air suspension. Check the car sits level after standing, that no suspension warnings appear, and that the ride height changes normally. Faults can be costly to trace.
