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 73% pass rate and 21,052 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and repeated safety-critical issues warrant significant caution.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 6,393 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but a significant 2023 service gap is noted.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures (Oct 2019, Feb 2020) and advisories (Mar 2026) indicate chronic neglect.
- Brake system failures (Feb 2020, Mar 2026) and advisories (Oct 2019, Feb 2020) show a persistent and worsening safety-critical issue.
- Engine oil advisory (Mar 2026) and suspension arm advisory (Mar 2026) are recent and unresolved.
- The 2023 MOT gap suggests the vehicle may have been off-road or neglected during that period.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
- Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory over 19 years, averaging 6,393 miles/year, suggests regular use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
