AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Volvo has 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 46,213 miles. While these were addressed, the pattern suggests a history of wear and tear that requires careful inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,617 miles/year, with a notable spike of 8,186 miles in the last 12 months, but no decreases or anomalies.
Things to check
- Recurring advisories on tyres (Aug 2021, Aug 2023), suspension (Aug 2021, Aug 2023), and brakes (Aug 2021, Aug 2023) indicate a pattern of wear.
- Two MOT failures (May 2011, May 2012) with no defect details, suggesting potential underlying issues not fully resolved.
- Consistent low annual mileage (46,213 miles in 18 years) may indicate limited use, but also potential for age-related component wear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-25, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating (2017) for a 2008 model is a strong positive for safety.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded in the last 2 years of tests.
