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 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 34,952 miles. The vehicle's age and low mileage for its age also present significant wear and tear risks.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop from 123,513 miles in Jan 2019 to 124,358 miles in Feb 2019, followed by extremely low annual usage (e.g., 2,200 miles in 2022), indicating inconsistent driving patterns or potential odometer issues.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failures recorded in Dec 2013 and Jan 2015, indicating a persistent and serious safety concern.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 3 separate tests (Jan 2019, Mar 2023, Mar 2023) suggest a chronic wear issue.
  • A significant mileage anomaly: 123,513 miles in Jan 2019 dropped to 124,358 miles in Feb 2019, then plummeted to very low annual usage.
  • The vehicle is 17 years old with a history of recurring brake and tyre issues, indicating substantial accumulated wear.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a current, valid MOT certificate until May 2026, indicating it recently passed a safety inspection.
  • Mileage is consistent with UK average (8,892 miles/year), suggesting normal usage despite the initial drop.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (May 2025), showing current roadworthiness.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
