This 2008 Volvo has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 48,354 miles. The vehicle has been off-road for a significant period, and its 18-year age means substantial wear is expected.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing normal usage of 10,699 miles/year, with a notable 14-month gap in 2021 where no MOT was recorded.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories (ball joint, 2019; suspension arm, 2022) indicate ongoing wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories (worn close to limit, 2020, 2022) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
- The 2021 MOT gap suggests the vehicle was off-road or not used for a significant period.
- The vehicle is 18 years old, meaning significant accumulated wear is expected.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- No MOT failures recorded across 3 tests, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
- Consistent mileage trajectory over its lifespan, averaging 10,699 miles/year.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) demonstrates a strong safety record for its model.
