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 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 83,756 miles. The pattern of repeated failures and advisories on critical safety systems suggests potential ongoing maintenance costs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,072 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in 2025.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (2013, 2023) and advisories (2013) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Exhaust system advisories (2012, 2013, 2023) and a major failure (2020) suggest persistent corrosion.
  • Multiple light failures (2012, 2013, 2023) and advisories (2012, 2013) point to a history of electrical issues.
  • The 2014-04-07 retest after a 2014-04-07 failure is unusual and requires clarification.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,072 miles/year, well above UK average.
  • No mileage discrepancies or signs of odometer fraud detected in the MOT history.
  • All major failures were promptly rectified and passed retests, showing owner responsiveness.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
