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

This 2009 Volvo has 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 29,309 miles. The recent MOT pass in June 2025 still carries an advisory for the exhaust.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage averaging 8,227 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, including a recent 7,277-mile increase in May 2024.

Things to check

  • Recurring exhaust advisories (Jun 2025) and failures (May 2023, May 2022) suggest a persistent issue.
  • Recurring lighting advisories (Jun 2025, May 2022, May 2021) and failures (May 2022) indicate a chronic problem.
  • Recurring emissions advisories (Jun 2025, May 2022, May 2021) and failures (May 2022) point to ongoing engine management.
  • Recurring brake advisories (Jun 2025, May 2022, May 2021) and failures (May 2022) suggest a pattern of wear.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,227 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • Valid MOT until June 2026, indicating current roadworthiness and recent safety checks.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 provides a high level of safety assurance.
