2019 Volvo Xc60 Momentum T5 Auto

CarHunch analysed 277 real MOT records for the 2019 Volvo Xc60 Momentum T5 Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2019 Volvo XC60 Momentum T5 petrol has a first-time MOT pass rate of 90.6%, comfortably above the UK average of 80%, which suggests solid baseline reliability. However, nearly a quarter of vehicles (24.2%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is a material concern for a buyer and warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection focused on braking, steering, and suspension systems.

At 35,000 miles median mileage for a five-year-old car, these examples are running lower than typical, which partly explains the strong pass rate but also means you won't find much real-world usage data yet. The average of 0.45 failures and 4.4 advisories per test is reasonable, though the high advisory count suggests minor wear items (bulbs, wipers, pads) accumulate—budget for routine maintenance beyond the headline pass rate and request full service history before committing to a purchase.

What to check before buying a 2019 Volvo Xc60 Momentum T5 Auto

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • ⚠️ 24.2% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
