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

This 2006 Volvo has 19 MOT tests on record with a 84% pass rate and 14,810 miles. The vehicle's age and SORN status add complexity to its purchase.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: a 13,780-mile jump before Jun 2010, followed by suspiciously low annual usage (e.g., 304 mi/yr before Jun 2022).

Things to check

  • Jun 2019: Major failure for parking brake efficiency, a critical safety system.
  • Jun 2024: Recurring brake disc advisories (Jun 2019, Nov 2023, Jun 2024) indicate chronic wear.
  • Jun 2024: Recurring suspension arm advisories (Jun 2019, Jun 2020) suggest ongoing neglect.
  • Jun 2024: Recurring tyre wear advisories (Jun 2019, Jun 2020) point to consistent maintenance needs.

Working in its favour

  • Jun 2024: Recent clean MOT pass with no failures or dangerous defects.
  • Jun 2024: No current advisories for dangerous defects or immediate failures.
  • May 2009: First MOT pass at 14,810 miles, indicating low initial wear.
  • May 2009: No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the most recent MOT history.
