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 24 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 33,558 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated tyre issues and age warrant careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,724 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, though recent years show lower usage.

Things to check

Recurring tyre failures/advisories across 7 tests (2013, 2014, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025) indicate chronic maintenance neglect.
Major brake pad failures on both rear wheels (Jun 2019) and front (Aug 2022) suggest a history of poor brake maintenance.
Consistent pattern of tyre bulges and damage (Jun 2021, Aug 2022, Aug 2024) points to a systemic issue with wheel integrity.
The 2008 Volvo is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.

Working in its favour

Vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-08-16, indicating current roadworthiness.
Consistent mileage readings over 18 years, averaging 7,724 miles/year, show no fraud.
No DANGEROUS defects remain unresolved since the last MOT pass in August 2025.
The 2017 Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars for a newer Volvo model suggests good safety features.
