This 2013 Volvo has 11 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 21,959 miles. The car's age and low usage raise important questions about its maintenance and potential hidden issues.
The vehicle shows a consistent low annual mileage of 3,800-5,000 miles per year, but a critical anomaly exists: 21,959 miles recorded in Sep 2016 is significantly lower than expected for a 3-year-old car, suggesting potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below average: 21,959 mi (Sep 2016) is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
- Recent suspension advisory (Sep 2025): Offside Front Suspension arm advisory indicates a current wear item.
- Low annual mileage (3,800-5,000 mi/yr) for a 13-year-old car suggests minimal use, leading to unknown mechanical issues.
Working in its favour
- Strong MOT record: 8 of 9 tests passed, with no dangerous defects or recurring major failures.
- Consistent low mileage: 5,154 miles/year average, indicating light use and potentially lower wear.
- Long MOT validity: Valid MOT until 2026-09-24, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating: Demonstrates high safety standards for a 2013 vehicle.
