This 2003 Volvo has 26 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 38,973 miles. However, a significant mileage anomaly in 2022 and a 2020 service gap require thorough investigation.
A critical mileage anomaly occurred on 26 Jan 2022, where the first test recorded 67,881 miles, but the retest immediately afterwards showed 129,392 miles, a 61,511-mile discrepancy.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly on 26 Jan 2022: 67,881 mi (FAIL) vs 129,392 mi (PASS) — 61,511-mile difference.

- Major failure for Nearside Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii)) on 26 Jan 2022.
Working in its favour
