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 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 28,679 miles. While mileage is consistent, the extensive history of wear items and suspension issues demands thorough investigation.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,346 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but there are unexplained MOT gaps in 2020 and 2024.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Jan 2019, Mar 2015, Mar 2014) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring brake pad and disc advisories across 3 tests (Dec 2019, Dec 2023) show consistent wear.
- Recurring suspension arm bush failures (Jan 2022, Jan 2021) and steering ball joint failures (Jan 2021, Jan 2019) point to systemic neglect.
- Five test failures in 13 MOTs, including a DANGEROUS steering defect (Jan 2019), highlight a history of safety-critical issues.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
- Valid MOT until January 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
