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

This 2011 Volvo has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 52,368 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of issues suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,761 miles/year, with a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 5,825 miles from Jul 2024 to Jul 2025).

Things to check

  • High mileage (185,652 miles) for a 2011 vehicle indicates significant wear and tear.
  • Recurring major failures in suspension (Jul 2024, Jul 2025) and steering (Aug 2021, Jul 2024) suggest structural neglect.
  • Consistent advisories for lights and tyres across multiple tests highlight a pattern of reactive maintenance.
  • The 2014-03-03 MOT test shows 'emissions to clean to register', a highly unusual and unexplained entry.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until July 2026, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory, though high, shows no signs of odometer fraud.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT tests (Jul 2025).
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
