Moderate sample. 341 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

The 2022 Volvo XC60 Ultimate T8 Recharge AWD is a strong performer on the MOT bench, with an 88.2% first-time pass rate that comfortably beats the UK average of 80%, and only 5% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect—well below concerning levels. Petrol hybrid reliability here is genuinely solid, suggesting Volvo's powertrain integration is working well.

At just over 27,000 miles median mileage, these are still relatively new cars, so the low failure rate of 0.1 per vehicle tells you more about build quality than long-term durability. The 0.7 advisories per vehicle is modest, meaning when issues do crop up they're typically minor wear items rather than structural problems—but before committing to ownership, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the hybrid battery and charging system, which won't show up in headline MOT stats.

The 2022 Volvo Xc60 Ultimte T8 Recharge AWD A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (94.6% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
