AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Volvo has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 15,850 miles. The car's low annual mileage and consistent tyre advisories suggest potential underlying issues.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 3,620 miles/year, with a significant drop from 18,143 miles in March 2022 to 21,529 miles in February 2023, indicating a potential odometer discrepancy.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 3,620 miles/yr (Feb 2026) — raises odometer fraud concerns.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 5 tests (Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Feb 2025, Feb 2026) — indicates chronic wear or alignment issues.
- First MOT failure on 2022-03-08 for windscreen wiper, immediately retested and passed — suggests owner neglect of basic maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- No dangerous defects recorded across 7 MOT tests — strong safety record.
- MOT valid until 2027-02-13 — provides significant peace of mind for the next 3 years.
- Consistent annual mileage increases since 2021, despite low overall numbers — no suspicious gaps or drops.
