AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Volvo has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 40,480 miles. The recurring tyre advisories escalating to dangerous failures indicate a lack of proactive maintenance.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,683 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, though recent years show a slight dip.
Things to check
- Dangerous tyre defect (tyre split, cords exposed) on 2017-10-30, indicating poor maintenance.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Nov 2018, May 2019) escalating to dangerous failures (May 2019).
- Major failure for Nearside Front Position lamp not working on 2017-10-30.
- Recent MOT failure for a dangerous tyre defect on 2017-10-30.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-29, offering peace of mind for several years.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
