AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2007 Volvo has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 33,196 miles. The vehicle's low annual mileage for its age, combined with a 2019 service gap, raises further questions about its maintenance.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 6,789 miles/year, but a significant 2019 service gap is concerning for a 19-year-old car.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2013-02-13, followed by advisory on 2013-02-13.
  • DANGEROUS steering failure on 2013-02-13, with no subsequent advisory.
  • Recurring suspension failures (coil springs, anti-roll bar) on 2013-02-13 and 2020-01-23.
  • Recurring shock absorber and suspension arm advisories on 2022-03-04.

Working in its favour

  • Recent clean MOT pass on 2022-03-04 with no failures.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage of 6,789 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
  • No recurring failures on the same critical system since 2022.
