AI verdict CAUTION 50/100

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

This 2007 Volvo has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 53,112 miles. While it has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, the vehicle's age and past maintenance issues warrant significant caution.

The mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low usage (182 mi/yr equivalent) before Jul 2011, followed by unusually high jumps (49,343 mi/yr equivalent) before Jan 2016, indicating inconsistent driving patterns.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomalies: Suspiciously low usage (182 mi/yr) before Jul 2011, then unusually high jumps (49,343 mi/yr) before Jan 2016.
  • Major Suspension Failure: Nearside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (Sep 2019).
  • Recurring Tyre Wear: Offside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit (Sep 2018), Offside Front Tyre worn (Sep 2019).
  • High Annual Mileage: Average 14,527 miles/year, significantly above UK average of 8,000/year.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP Safety Rating: 5/5 stars (2017) indicates strong safety features for its age.
  • Single Major Failure: The Sep 2019 suspension failure was immediately rectified and passed retest.
  • Consistent Recent Passes: The Oct 2020 MOT passed with no failures or major advisories.
  • No Recent Failures: The Oct 2020 MOT shows no current failures or dangerous defects.
