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 22 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 30,487 miles. While it has a valid MOT until March 2026, the pattern of issues suggests significant wear and potential future costs.

The mileage trajectory shows a suspiciously low average of 791 miles/year from 2007 to 2024, followed by a significant spike to 12,267 miles/year from 2022 to 2023, and then a further increase to 11,734 miles/year from 2023 to 2025.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures on brakes (Jul 2019, Mar 2024) and steering (Mar 2024) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Suspension arm corrosion (Mar 2024) and anti-roll bar bush wear (Mar 2025) are recent advisories on critical components.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (791 mi/yr 2007-2024) followed by high spikes (12,267 mi/yr 2022-2023) suggests inconsistent use or poor maintenance.
  • The vehicle is currently on SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) and lacks a valid MOT certificate, despite a future expiry date.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate until March 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering, despite the unusual usage patterns.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a positive for overall safety features.
  • The car has a long service history with consistent maintenance, as evidenced by the community knowledge.
