Volvo V60 R Design + D4 Auto (2019)
2019 Volvo V60 R Design + D4 Auto
CarHunch analysed 138 real MOT records for the 2019 Volvo V60 R Design + D4 Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Volvo V60 R-Design D4 Auto passes its MOT first time at 86.2%, which is a solid 6 points above the UK average — but the danger flag here is that 30.4% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, well above what you'd want to see. This diesel model is clearly reliable when it's working, but that dangerous defect rate suggests electrical or brake system issues are worth investigating on the used market.
At just 48,660 miles on average for a five-year-old car, these Volvos are running low mileage overall, which explains the respectable pass rate but also means you're buying into unknown territory if the car hasn't been regularly driven. Most vehicles rack up an average of 0.7 failures and 3.6 advisories per test — nothing alarming — so the real move is to demand a full service history and get the brakes and electrical systems professionally inspected before you hand over money.
