AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Volvo has 10 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 38,942 miles. The high annual mileage for its age, combined with these wear-related advisories, warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent high usage, averaging 13,075 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, though this exceeds the UK average of 8,000.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Sep 2021) escalated to a DANGEROUS defect (Sep 2023).
- Brake pad advisories (Sep 2023) suggest ongoing wear and tear on critical safety components.
- Four test failures across 10 MOTs, including major lighting issues, indicate maintenance gaps.
- High annual mileage (13,075 mi/yr) for an 8-year-old car accelerates typical wear.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until September 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or anomalies.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded.
