I've crawled under the XC60 and had a good look around and there is no sign of bending or deformation of the metalwork where the tow hitch is mounted. It's a dealer fitted Volvo branded tow hitch. What is damaged however are the plastic fittings at the end of the tow hitch - I've attached a photo of the 2 separate bits and I was wondering if anyone knows what the Volvo part numbers are for these 2 bits (assuming they are available separately)

The XC60 is off to a panel shop on Wednesday to have them look it over and confirm that there is no other damage.
Don't forget the anti-whiplash seats , the backrest hinges deform if it is a big enough impact , dealer will know how to check ..
