Common Issues

While Volvos are generally reliable, like any car, the XC60 can have some common issues to be aware of:

• Infotainment System Glitches: The large central touchscreen can occasionally experience software glitches or become unresponsive. Regular software updates are crucial.
• Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Issues: For older diesel models, particularly those used for short, urban journeys, DPF warning lights can illuminate.
• AdBlue System Issues: Some diesel models may encounter problems with the AdBlue system, leading to warning lights or reduced performance.
• Air Suspension (if fitted): While providing a comfortable ride, air suspension components can be costly to repair if they fail.
• Electrical Gremlins: Occasionally, owners report minor electrical faults, such as issues with sensors or lighting.

It's always recommended to check for a full service history and any specific recalls for the model you are considering.

Running Costs

• Fuel: Petrol models can be thirsty, while mild-hybrids offer marginal improvements. Plug-in hybrids can be very economical if regularly charged.
• Insurance: As a premium vehicle, insurance premiums can be higher.
• Road Tax: Varies depending on CO2 emissions. Newer plug-in hybrids may benefit from lower tax bands.
• Servicing: Expect main dealer servicing to be more expensive than independent garages.
