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

This 2008 Volvo has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 44,291 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2025-08-27, the pattern of neglect and unexplained low early usage warrants extreme caution.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (573 mi/yr equivalent) before Aug 2012, followed by normal usage, but this early anomaly is a significant concern.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres worn close to legal limit (Aug 2020) — immediate safety risk.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Front brake pads less than 1.5 mm thick (Aug 2024) — critical safety component.
  • Recurring major failures: Tyres (5 tests), Lights (2 tests), Exhaust (5 tests), Brake pads (3 tests), Brake discs (2 tests).
  • Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage (573 mi/yr equivalent) recorded before Aug 2012.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
  • Consistent mileage: Normal usage (8,386 mi/yr) since 2012, no recent spikes.
  • Recent MOT pass: Successfully passed its most recent MOT test on 2024-08-27.
  • No odometer fraud: No mileage decreases or suspiciously round numbers detected.
