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

This 2012 Volvo has 19 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 87,437 miles. While mileage is high, the vehicle has been consistently maintained with prompt repairs.

The mileage trajectory shows high annual usage (12,606 miles/yr), with a significant 2,289-mile anomaly between retests on 07 Nov 2020 and 21 Nov 2020.

Things to check

  • Dangerous Offside Front Tyre cut on 07 Jul 2025 — immediate safety concern.
  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., 2014-12-19, 2015-12-18).
  • High mileage (12,606 miles/yr) indicates increased wear and tear on components.
  • Unusually large 2,289-mile retest anomaly on 07 Nov 2020 suggests potential odometer issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 30 Jul 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate repair of failures, showing responsive ownership.
  • No major structural corrosion or chassis failures recorded in the MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for this model.
