Hi, I saw a good deal on a 2015 AWD S60 T5, but I know that 2013-2016 T5 engines had a chance of needing expensive engine repairs due to oil consumption. Information about that can be found here: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10231933-9999.pdf
I know the engine model is B5254T12 but the pdf doesn't show anything about engine models. The last 7 digits of the VIN start with 13, so I think it is safe, but I'm not sure if the last 7 digits are actually the chassis # or not. The car is up to 60k miles with no issues, and never had service for oil issues, so I think it is probably safe, but I need to be certain with a purchase this expensive

 

It sounds like you’re doing your homework, which is excellent! The 2015 S60 T5 is a solid choice, and it’s good that you’re aware of the potential oil consumption issues. That's a positive sign since the car is 60k miles old and has no service related to oil problems.

 

You should be able to google around for technical service bulletins which will state which model/engine are prone to oil issues.

 

If you're considering a 2015 S60, that's a solid choice. Volvos are known for their safety and comfort, and the S60 has a nice mix of style and performance. Just check the vehicle history report for any accidents or service issues.
