This 2011 Volvo has 19 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 32,441 miles. While it has a long MOT, the underlying mechanical history demands thorough investigation.
The vehicle recorded suspiciously low mileage (265 mi/yr equivalent) before Dec 2019, followed by a significant drop in annual usage, raising odometer integrity concerns.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (coil springs, shock absorbers) across multiple tests indicate chronic neglect.
- Brake pad wear advisory in Feb 2025 is a clear sign of imminent replacement costs.
- Engine oil advisory noted in Feb 2026 and Feb 2025 suggests a persistent maintenance issue.
- Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage (265 mi/yr equivalent) before Dec 2019 is a major red flag for odometer fraud.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until February 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded in the latest MOT tests.
- Consistent annual mileage post-2019, albeit lower than average, suggests regular use.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
