AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2011 Volvo has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 64,151 miles. While it has a long MOT record, the pattern of neglect and high mileage demands thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (699 mi/yr equivalent) before March 2016, followed by a sharp increase to 15,594 miles/year, indicating a significant change in usage.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect on 2019-10-2019, immediately followed by a failure on 2020-10-2020.
  • Recurring suspension advisories (2019, 2020, 2021) escalating to a major failure in 2021.
  • High annual mileage (15,594 mi/yr) from 2016 onwards, significantly above UK average.
  • MOT expired 2025-11-20; vehicle is currently untaxed and not validly MOT'd.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Long MOT history with 10 tests and 7 passes, showing continuous use.
  • No major structural corrosion or recurring brake failures identified.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory post-2016, despite initial low usage.
