AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Volvo has 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 32,679 miles. This fundamental discrepancy makes the vehicle unroadworthy and a legal liability.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,572 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes observed.
Things to check
- MOT status is 'Not valid' as of the analysis date, despite a future expiry date of 2025-08-21.
- The vehicle has a 17-year history with consistent mileage but recurring failures and advisories on critical safety systems.
- Multiple DANGEROUS defects (brakes, tyres) and MAJOR failures (windscreen, suspension) are documented in the MOT history.
- The recurring pattern of tyre and brake system advisories escalating to failures indicates a history of reactive maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,572 miles per year, indicating regular use without suspicious gaps.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering, as the mileage trajectory is consistent and logical.
- The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating a strong safety record for its model year.
- The 1997 Volvo 850 alternator brushes wear unevenly due to voltage regulator issues is a known model weakness, not a current issue.
