    Default Volvo XC60 reliability

    I wanted more up-to-date auto reliability information that included actual repair rates. So in late 2005 I started getting people together to make this possible. TrueDelta now reports absolute repair rates that make the differences between cars much clearer.

    Results are updated four times a year, so it's possible to provide reliability stats on a new model like the XC60 way ahead of any other source--if enough owners sign up and participate.

    Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter.

    To encourage participation, participants receive full access to all results, not just those for the XC60, for free.

    I've added the XC60 to the survey, but more participants remain needed for a full result.

    We have our first results for the XC60, based on owner experiences through March 31, 2010. With a reported repair frequency of 67 repair trips per 100 cars per year, the 2010 XC60 is about average.

    The sample size was four short of the minimum for a full result, so this one is asterisked and visible only to members on the site itself.

    A big thank you to this forum and everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in August and November.

    We have updated results for the XC60, based on owner experiences through June 30, 2010.

    Other sources of car reliability information won't cover the more recent months until the summer or even fall of next year.

    With a reported repair frequency of 67 repair trips per 100 cars per year (yes, same exact score as last time), the 2010 XC60 remains about average.

    With a reported repair frequency of 56 repair trips per 100 cars per year, the 2010 XC60 remains about average.

    Thank you, once again, everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in February and May.

    Was hoping to see above average reliability. Does anyone know whether we can expect better in the future?

    We have updated our car reliability stats for the XC60 to include owner experiences through March 31, 2011.

    Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

    2011: 24, better than average, small sample size

    2010: 49, about average

    We'll have further updates in August and November. With more participants we could provide more precise information and fully cover all model years.

    Actually, the older ones often don't fare so well.
