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

This 2013 Volvo has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 62,034 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of repeated failures and advisories on critical safety components warrants careful consideration.

The vehicle exhibits high annual usage, averaging 13,582 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 4,416 miles in 2024).

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (Feb 2020, Feb 2021) and failures (Feb 2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • Suspension arm bush excessively worn (Feb 2025) and coil spring advisories (Feb 2025) show ongoing structural neglect.
  • Brake pad and disc advisories (Feb 2025) and failures (Dec 2025) suggest a pattern of wear.
  • High annual mileage (13,582 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) will accelerate wear.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-05, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 provides a strong safety foundation.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures demonstrate owner responsiveness.
