What actually fails — and at what age
On the Volvo V60CC, the early trouble is Power Train and Fuel/propulsion System — reported at around 2.7 years, so a car still under warranty is the one to check for it. What waits further out is Structure at 5 years — past every basic warranty, and the bill lands on whoever owns the car then.
