AI verdict CAUTION 57/100

AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2007 Volvo has 23 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 47,827 miles. While these were addressed, the sheer volume of advisories and failures for wear items like tyres and brakes indicates significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 6,292 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though annual usage has fluctuated significantly since 2019.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures/advisories across 12 tests (Aug 2019, Sep 2022, Nov 2024) indicate chronic wear.
  • Brake system failures and advisories escalate from Aug 2019 advisory to Nov 2024 major failure.
  • Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding (Nov 2024) is a serious safety concern.
  • Off

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
