AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2013 Volvo has 18 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 51,671 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues with critical safety components warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,951 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but a significant 20,900-mile drop between Jan 2020 and Jan 2021 is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension arm failures/advisories (Jan 2020, Jan 2023, Dec 2024) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Multiple tyre failures/advisories (Jan 2020, Jan 2021, Jan 2022, Dec 2024) suggest poor maintenance.
  • Corroded brake discs (Jan 2020) and worn tyres (Jan 2020) point to a history of deferred repairs.
  • The 20,900-mile drop between Jan 2020 and Jan 2021 is a significant anomaly in the mileage history.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-12-07, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory, averaging 11,951 miles/year, shows no signs of odometer fraud.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (Dec 2025).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
