AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2011 Volvo has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 41,431 miles. The high mileage for its age, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, presents a complex buying decision.
The vehicle shows high usage at 12,081 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable drop in annual mileage from 2019 to 2022.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (coil springs, CV boot, anti-roll bar link) across multiple tests.
- Persistent brake pad wear advisories in Oct 2018 and May 2014 indicate ongoing maintenance needs.
- High mileage (178,578 mi) for a 2011 vehicle suggests more wear and tear on components.
- Oct 2025 MOT shows MINOR suspension arm and anti-roll bar link advisories, indicating current wear.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until November 2026, providing peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent mileage trajectory, despite being high for its age, shows no signs of tampering.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) demonstrates strong safety features for its era.
