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 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 80,676 miles. The car's 318,083-mile history is highly unusual and raises significant concerns about its true condition and safety.

The vehicle recorded 318,083 miles at its single MOT test in August 2018, which is an extremely high figure for a 2009 car and suggests potential odometer fraud or severe underuse.
