This 2008 Volvo has 23 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 38,967 miles. The vehicle's extremely low annual mileage (4,954 miles/yr) for an 18-year-old car is a significant red flag for potential long-term neglect.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 4,954 miles/yr, averaging only 1,914 miles/year between 2019 and 2026, which is highly unusual for an 18-year-old car.

Things to check

  • 5 MOT failures and 11 advisories across 13 tests, indicating persistent mechanical issues.
