This 2016 Volvo has 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 17,225 miles. The significant drop in annual mileage between 2021 and 2022 also warrants careful investigation.
The vehicle shows normal annual usage (7,495 miles/yr) until 2021, then a significant drop to 979 miles in 2022, followed by a return to normal usage from 2023 onwards.
Things to check
- Significant drop in annual mileage from 2021 (23,487 mi) to 2022 (24,466 mi) suggests a period of low or no use.
- Engine/Oil major failure in Jul 2025, though immediately rectified, is a concern for a 2016 diesel.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Valid MOT until August 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory (7,495 mi/yr) aligns with average UK usage, not suspicious.
