Hi, my company is planning to get rid of a 2015 Volvo XC60 (AWD Sport - Auto Trans) with 225k miles that I have been driving for the past month. I've found her to be pretty solid as most of the miles have been highway ( used for sales people to travel around the country). As far as from what I can see it drives fine under normal conditions, I gave her a good push on sport mode and one of the gears was not very smooth (only on sport mode as regular driving is excellent in shifting). It's currently valued at 3.5-4k on KBB. I'd consider it for a daily driver, I do not expect much re-sale just "use it till it gives no more". Can I expect to get at least 75k more miles off it, possibly more?
hard to say... i am currently still driving my 2010 xc60 AWD 3.2l ...had a major engine repair done (exhaust valve failure)...not sure what type of Engine you have, but 225k miles is quite impressive ( mine has now 124k miles)...i noticed that the transmission is not as smooth anymore, but i drive a lot of mixed highway and City... if the 2015 models have a good engine in it, i think it should be possible to get a few more miles out of it....but every car is different... so the transmission could go anytime( i believe it is also an Aisin transmission , as well as head gasket or any of the exhaust or intake valves...which is a major repair
@sumibc can you copy and paste your answer into the ‘Your Answer’ section down below? Thank you.
Yeah, nah.
Does not worth the risk.
I would pass.
I would sell it. It may be highway mileage but something is going to break soon on that Volvo and it will cost thousands of dollars in repairs.
Most everyone here knows more about cars than me. So they are probably right.
With that said, I personally would drive it until the wheels fall off. Keep up with basic maintenance.
I mean the transmission is an Aisin transmission, which Toyota uses. And those things can go on for a good long life.
The car itself is in the tail end and the production run, so you have the version with the bugs worked out.
Disregard what I just said. I thought the car was already yours. But it looks like you are trying to buy it.
I would say it is past it’s useful life and not worth considering for a daily driver.
