This 2016 Volvo has 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 30,692 miles.
The vehicle shows consistent annual usage, averaging 9,810 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent period of very low mileage.
Things to check
- Recurring electrical failures: Position lamp failures in 2019, 2023, and 2026, indicating a systemic issue.
- CV boot advisory (May 2026): A MINOR defect that could escalate to a MAJOR failure, requiring immediate attention.
- Brake light failure (Mar 2023): A major failure that was immediately rectified, but highlights the electrical system's history.
- Low recent mileage (May 2026): Only 289 miles in 12 months suggests either very light use or a period of inactivity.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-10: Offers peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent mileage: Average 9,810 miles/year is normal and shows no fraud.
- No major structural failures: The MOT history does not indicate significant mechanical or safety-critical issues.
- Euro NCAP 5-star rating: Demonstrates a high level of safety and protection for occupants.
