This 2018 Volvo has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 48,884 miles. However, a major brake hose failure in 2023, combined with recurring tyre advisories and recent brake component advisories, indicates a pattern of wear and maintenance needs.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 48,884 miles over 8 years, averaging 8,173 miles per year, which is in line with UK averages.
Things to check
- Major brake hose failure on 2023-03-31, indicating a safety-critical repair.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Apr 2024, Apr 2025) suggest ongoing wear and potential alignment issues.
- Recent advisories for front brake pads and discs (Apr 2026) indicate imminent replacement costs.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, normal mileage accumulation over 8 years, averaging 8,173 miles/year.
- Valid MOT until 2027-04-24, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage patterns.
- Single major failure in 2023 was immediately rectified and passed retest.
