AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Volvo has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 25,758 miles. While mileage is low, the history of dangerous tyre defects and multiple suspension advisories warrants careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,677 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2025): Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))
- Dangerous tyre defects recorded on 2024-10-24 (Offside Rear) and 2024-10-24 (Nearside Rear).
- Recurring suspension advisories on 2022-10-10 (Nearside Front) and 2025-10-24 (Offside Rear).
- Brake pad wear advisories on 2016-11-02 (Nearside Front) and 2017-10-10 (Offside Front).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-24, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,677 mi/yr) suggests light use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
- No recurring major failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
