This 2018 Volvo has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 70,166 miles. The high annual usage (18,885 mi/yr) will accelerate wear.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 18,885 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles, with consistent readings from 70,166 miles in April 2021 to 146,322 miles in September 2025.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Sep 2025): Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- DANGEROUS brake failure recorded on 2025-09-28 (test 146,322 mi) — immediate safety concern.
- High annual mileage (18,885 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) will accelerate wear on all components.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-28, indicating current roadworthiness despite recent failure.
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending service intervals.
- No recurring major system failures (e.g., no repeated brake or suspension failures).
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) demonstrates strong safety features.
