Common Issues to Watch For

Based on the 2021 VOLVO V60 R-DESIGN B6 MHEV AWD AUTO's fuel type, age, and engine size, these are the most likely problem areas to check.

Hybrid Battery Health

Medium risk

After 5 years, hybrid battery capacity may have reduced. A full replacement costs £2,000-£4,000, though reconditioning is cheaper at £500-£1,500.

Low risk

Always request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
