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 83% pass rate and 23,581 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and past failures warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows very low annual mileage, averaging only 4,255 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2021 (3,445 miles in 12 months).

Things to check

  • Recurring bodywork advisories on 2014-03-11 and 2015-03-11.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-31, indicating current roadworthiness.

  • No recurring major failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering since 2022.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases since 2022, showing no recent neglect.
