Where each one leads
Peugeot 807
Ahead on none of the like-for-like measures.
Volvo XC60
- Against cars of the same age, the Volvo XC60 comes out better at its first MOT test (passes 4% more often than average) than the Peugeot 807 (passes 23% less often than average).
- Fewer Volvo XC60 cars in the Netherlands carry an illogical odometer record (2.8% against 6.3%).
Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
