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 14,861 miles. The vehicle's history shows a pattern of recurring failures and advisories across multiple safety-critical systems, making it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 5,878 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2017 onwards, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Tyre has a lump, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (Oct 2025 FAIL).
  • Recurring suspension failures: Major failure for Nearside Rear Tyre lump (Oct 2021 FAIL) and Nearside Front Coil spring fractured (Oct 2021 FAIL).
  • Recurring brake failures: Major failure for Nearside Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (Oct 2025 FAIL).
  • Recurring tyre failures: Major failure for Nearside Rear Tyre has a lump (Oct 2021 FAIL) and Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit (Apr 2019 FAIL).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until October 2026, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed for 2012 vehicle).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
