What to check before buying a 2019 V60 Cross Country + D4 A
Before buying a 2019 Volvo V60 Cross Country + D4 A, focus on the areas it most often fails on. Tyres accounted for 4.7% of tests for this year.

- Brakes (1.8% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
