This 2018 Volvo has 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 22,570 miles. While recent failures were rectified, the pattern of wear items and low annual usage warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows 22,570 miles in May 2021, but only 39,368 miles in May 2026, indicating a 5-year period of extremely low usage (675 miles/year) and a 5,464-mile increase in the last year.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 22,570 mi (May 2021) vs. 39,368 mi (May 2026) — 5-year period of only 675 miles/year.
- Recurring brake pad wear advisories: 4 advisories across 4 tests (May 2025, May 2026) — consistent wear pattern.
- Recurring tyre wear advisories: 4 advisories across 2 tests (May 2021, Apr 2023) — inner shoulder wear.
- Recent MOT failure (May 2026) followed by immediate retest pass — suggests borderline condition.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-22 — no immediate retesting required.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in MOT history — safety-critical systems are sound.
- Consistent annual mileage increases since May 2026, showing recent activity.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
