This 2008 Volvo has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 61,977 miles. However, the vehicle's high annual usage (19,160 miles/year) and consistent tyre advisories warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 19,160 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or inconsistencies.
Things to check
- High annual mileage (19,160 mi/yr) suggests heavy use and accelerated wear.
- Consistent tyre advisories (2011, 2013, 2015) indicate a pattern of wear, potentially expensive.
- Vehicle is currently Untaxed and has a Not Valid MOT status, requiring immediate verification.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Single MOT failure (Jun 2013) for registration plate lamp was immediately rectified.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
