AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2011 Volvo has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 53,182 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,159 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but recent annual usage has been low (e.g., 882 miles in 2022-2023).
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Feb 2019, Feb 2020, Mar 2024) escalated to major failures, indicating chronic wear.
- Persistent CV boot and ball joint issues (Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Mar 2023) suggest structural neglect.
- DANGEROUS brake failures (Feb 2021) and advisories (Feb 2019) point to recurring brake system problems.
- Recent low annual mileage (e.g., 882 miles in 2022-2023) after consistent high usage may indicate a change in driving or storage.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Consistent mileage trajectory averaging 8,159 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
- Valid MOT until March 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
