AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2003 Volvo has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 22,012 miles. While it has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, the vehicle's age and recurring mechanical issues warrant significant caution.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,568 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
Things to check
- Recurring brake disc failures (Apr 2015) and advisories (Apr 2013, 2014, 2016) suggest chronic neglect.
- Major failure for windscreen (no date) indicates a significant safety-critical defect.
- A 2008 MOT gap is a red flag for potential unrecorded issues or periods of non-use.
- The 2017 MOT expiry date is far in the past, implying the vehicle is not currently roadworthy.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,568 miles/year, indicating genuine usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation across 14 MOT tests.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2003 Volvo is a significant positive for safety.
