Looking at buying a fairly high spec one with just under 100K on the clock. It's a 2009 for a shade under £13k and looks in great condition.

I was just wondering how they take the miles? Are the known to be fairy robust?

Any feedback greatly appreciated. smile

Not quite up to those miles but I've put just over 23,000 on my 2013 D4 AWD over the last year and it hasn't missed a beat. The powered tailgate had a moment one week where it wouldn't close without a nudge but that seems to have fixed itself. It still feels as solid and rattle free as it did when it was new. I had a V40 once which I found felt quite tired after a couple of years - so far the XC60 seems to be holding up very well.

I would also be keen to hear of owners experiences of these, as this is looking quite likely to be our next car.

Currently looking at both D3(163hp) & 2.4d(175hp) DRIVe models in manual, VED bands are the same so unsure which engine to go with, probably the one that's proving most reliable.

Also what models have bluetooth as standard.

Just bumping this as i'm keen to know more before I part with my cash.

So are there any owners with real world experiences ?

Thanks
Tony

You might be better off going to www.volvoforums.org.uk the Volvo Owners Club site which is about the busiest you can find here in the UK.

Hi OP - I took a D5 SE Lux auto from zero to 92,000 miles in 23 months recently. Took delivery in Dec 2010 and ran as my UK-wide company car.

Apart from routine servicing the only thing that she needed was a single set of wiper blades. Economy was a little rubbish at 33mpg over life I had her, but was a superb motorway muncher, especially as old school auto box no fun for a PH'er! (...always 2 seconds behind ME!).

Do pm me for any details or questions.
