AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2002 Volvo has 19 MOT tests on record with a 95% pass rate and 7,721 miles. The recurring anti-roll bar link advisory and low annual usage warrant careful inspection.
The mileage trajectory shows a significant jump from 42,514 miles in June 2019 to 57,601 miles in November 2021, indicating a 10,398-mile increase over 2 years, which is unusually high for this vehicle's otherwise very low annual usage.
Things to check
- Very low annual mileage averaging 3,008 miles/year, suggesting limited use or potential issues.
- Significant mileage anomaly: 10,398-mile jump between Nov 2021 and Jun 2024 is unusually high for this car's age.
- Recurring anti-roll bar link advisory (Jun 2019, Jun 2024) indicates a persistent wear item.
- Brake hose advisories (Jun 2019, Jun 2024) suggest a recurring issue that needs attention.
Working in its favour
- Clean MOT pass record with no failures across 7 tests.
- No dangerous defects or major failures recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage readings since registration.
- No recurring major system failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) beyond advisories.
