Coming from an Alfa? Different beast altogether. 13.5k seems high but is at a Volvo dealer? Or a general used car lot? Ask to see history and contact the dealer that did the maintenance and check it’s legit....

There was one on Facebook in South Wales similar mileage was at 11k still not sold (private sale)...

Put it into “we buy any car” see what comes out.... the gmfv on mine is circa 15k after 2 years and 30k miles now I am hoping that is very conservative and car will be worth more like 18k+67 plate D4 fwd man r design lux nav

Check the rear tyres and brakes they might be in need of attention, if an auto have the box flushed don’t believe it is sealed for life....make sure correct oil (bloody expensive) has been used and continues to be.... make sure software is up to date and any recalls have been done lease companies sometime scrimp towards the end of the lease on tyres and servicing..

Volvo Dealer servicing gets you break down and software updates so shop around for prices.

In We Buy Any Car it comes back as they'd offer £10,900 so maybe an independent dealer trying to get around £13k isn't insane. I also don't know whether that valuation takes into account the extra kit the car has above the standard spec for that trim level, I suspect it doesn't.

I'm not moving from an Alfa to an XC60, I gave up driving Alfas as everyday cars about 6 years ago when I got sick of them falling apart - since then I've had Mercs which are not as fun to drive but at least I know when I get in and turn the key there is a reasonable chance it'll start!

Thanks for your input.

Extra options on new doesn't really add much value second hand. They help sell the car better, but not for much more money... WeBuyAnyCar is owned by an auction company so they will dispose of most at auction. So if it has a good warranty maybe £13k isn't insane but should be a nice car for that.
