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

This 2008 Volvo has 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 76,331 miles. The current MOT status is a significant concern, requiring immediate verification.

The vehicle shows high annual usage (12,426 miles/yr), with a notable anomaly of suspiciously low mileage (1,236 mi/yr equivalent) recorded before July 2011.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2025-12-13; vehicle is currently not valid for road use.
  • High mileage (210,707 miles) for a 2008 car suggests heavy commercial or high-usage driving.
  • Recurring registration plate lamp failures (2011, 2012) indicate a persistent electrical fault.
  • Multiple tyre advisories and failures (2011, 2020, 2021) suggest a history of poor maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • No major structural failures or recurring major defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • All MOT failures were promptly rectified and passed on the same or next day.
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending component life.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
