2014 Volvo XC60 2.0 T5 R-Design Automatic Petrol

Description

So, I’ve been keeping this one for a while now — a 2014 Volvo XC60 R-Design with the 2.0 T5 petrol engine. It’s not flashy, but it’s solid. Only 40,000 miles on the clock, and it’s been well looked after. I picked it up from Japan — not because it’s cheaper, but because the Japanese import process means these cars get a lot more attention to detail, especially with MOTs and maintenance. They’re usually owned by people who take their cars seriously, so it’s not just about the looks — it’s about reliability.

Inside, it’s got leather seats, heated seats, electric windows and mirrors, xenon headlights, alloy wheels, and a decent audio system with Bluetooth. There’s a reverse camera and side view camera too — useful if you’re not a total pro at parking. Climate control keeps things comfy, especially when it’s hot or cold.

I’ve had it registered overseas before, so it’s HPI clear and fully compliant with ULEZ. I’ve also had it checked through a proper MOT process, so it’s safe and legal to drive in London. Road tax is £310 per year — that’s a bit high, but I’ve kept it low-maintenance since I got it.

It’s been in the same family for years, and I’m actually quite proud of how it’s held up. The car has been kept in a dry, salt-free environment, so no rust, no corrosion. I’ve driven it regularly, but never pushed it hard.

It’s one of four XC60s I’ve got — all in different colours: black, white, and blue. I’m not selling it for a big price — it’s actually £9,445.50, but I’ve been thinking about whether that’s fair given how it’s been maintained.

I live in Coulsdon, Greater London, so if you’re local and looking for something reliable and a bit stylish, this might be your kind of car. No fancy marketing here — just a real, honest-to-goodness used SUV that’s been treated well.
