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 7 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 24,009 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2027, the pattern of neglect and repeated failures makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (418 mi/yr equivalent) before Jan 2023, followed by normal usage, but this anomaly is a significant concern.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failures on 2022-11-29 and 2024-01-03, indicating severe neglect.
- DANGEROUS tyre failures on 2022-11-29 and 2024-01-03, showing a clear pattern of critical wear.
- Major suspension arm failure on 2022-11-29, a critical safety component.
- Recurring advisories for worn tyres and brake pads across multiple tests.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-22, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety.
- Consistent annual mileage post-2023, averaging 8,000 miles/year.
