How many Volvo Xc60 cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 154,061 licensed and 2,620 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Volvo Xc60 generic-model group.

Is the Xc60 disappearing?

154,061 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the Xc60 is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. That is up 43% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 2,620 are declared SORN — 1 in 60 of the 156,681 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Xc60 MOT pass rate

In 2024, 77.6% of 83,913 Volvo Xc60 MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 88.3% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 68.5% aged 15–30 years.

• Springs — 4.6% of tests. A broken or sagging coil spring. Replaced in pairs, so it is not the cheapest failure.
• Condition — 3.3% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
• Mechanical Brake Components — 3.2% of tests. Worn discs, pads or callipers. Routine wear, but it should be priced into the deal.
• Tread Depth — 2.3% of tests. Tyres below the 1.6mm legal limit. Budget for tyres, and treat it as a sign of how the car was maintained.
