Electrical issues with the Volvo S60?

I am considering buying a second hand Volvo S60, approx year 2014. I've heard negative remarks about the electrics and that issues are expensive to repair. Would electrical issues be common?

Hi David,

Electrical issues are the most common reliability issues with any car these days, simply because cars have become so complex. Volvo generally has a solid reliability reputation, and the S60 uses tried and tested mechanical bits (it’s closely related to the old Ford Mondeo under the skin), but you can always expect some issues with any car. Buy one with a full and complete service history, and you’ll at least be off to a good start.
