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

This 2012 Volvo has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 18,137 miles.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,261 miles per year, with a notable drop in usage between 2019 and 2022 (e.g., +2,269 miles in 2023).

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 8 tests (e.g., Jul 2020, Jun 2021, Apr 2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring brake disc and pad advisories across 7 tests (e.g., Jun 2021, Apr 2025) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Offside Rear Coil spring fractured (May 2024) — a major suspension failure.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (5,261 mi/yr) may indicate limited use or poor maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-04, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,261 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
