AI verdict AVOID 35/100

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

This 2009 Volvo has 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 21,789 miles. This, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, creates a severe contradiction that makes a reliable assessment impossible.

The mileage trajectory shows consistent annual increases, averaging 6,713 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, but a 2020 MOT gap prevents detailed analysis.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Apr 2026): Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Apr 2025): Nearside Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
  • Complete absence of MOT history from 2016 to 2020 for a 17-year-old vehicle.
  • Multiple DANGEROUS defects recorded in the last 3 years (Apr 2025, Apr 2026) — immediate safety concern.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until April 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 6,713 miles/year suggests regular, predictable use.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
