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

This 2010 Volvo has 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 27,677 miles. While it has a long MOT, the underlying problems and inconsistent usage warrant a thorough investigation.

The vehicle exhibits a significant mileage anomaly, with suspiciously low usage (594 mi/yr equivalent) recorded before Feb 2023 and again before Jun 2024, despite normal annual usage thereafter.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc and pad advisories (Feb 2023, Aug 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Recurring registration plate lamp failures (Feb 2023, Jun 2024) suggest a persistent electrical fault.
  • Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Feb 2023 (594 mi/yr equivalent) and Jun 2024 (196 mi/yr equivalent) points to potential odometer fraud.
  • The vehicle has been on SORN status since 2010, raising questions about its maintenance history.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-13 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects are recorded in the MOT history.
  • Consistent annual mileage (6,194 mi/yr) since 2023 suggests regular use after initial low periods.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
