Every gasoline XC60 model year from 2010 to 2020, scored on reported failures weighted against how many were sold — and ranked against every other Mid-Size SUV of the same year.
Scored separately as its own vehicle: XC60 Mild Hybrid (2023–2025).
Across 11 scored model years the XC60 needs fixing less often than its class, and costs less to fix when it does. The spread between years is what matters: 2020 is its strongest, 2010 its weakest.
Longer bar is better. Rank is against every Mid-Size SUV sold that same model year.

The line held a middling position through 2011, then moved to strong from 2012 on. The recent trend is upward. This 2020 car falls in a strong stretch.
All 12 systems, measured against the class average for each model year.
Every XC60 model year is scored across 12 separate systems — engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, steering and suspension, structure, interior, and five more. Each system is compared against how often that same system fails on the average Mid-Size SUV of the same year, so a common failure is judged against how common it is everywhere else.
Across the last three model years (2018–2020), the trouble concentrates in one place: tires & wheels. That system draws issue reports more often than the same system on the average Mid-Size SUV of its year — which changes what you should be inspecting before you buy.
