AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Volvo has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 36,723 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect and safety-critical issues makes this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows high annual usage (13,198 miles/yr), with a significant mileage anomaly of 2,001 miles between retest attempts on 25 Oct 2019.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 25 Oct 2019 (pads <1.5mm).
- DANGEROUS tyre failures on 25 Oct 2019 (bulge, cracking).

- Recurring windscreen issues across 4 separate tests (Oct 2019, Nov 2020, Nov 2025).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 14 Nov 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a Volvo model.
- Consistent annual mileage increases, no suspicious drops or flat periods.
