This 2008 Volvo has 8 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 847,653 miles. The vehicle's safety-critical systems have failed repeatedly, and the mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, making it an extremely high-risk purchase.
The MOT history shows a 998,816-mile decrease on 19 Oct 2020, followed by a 73,095-mile jump on 19 Oct 2021, indicating severe mileage fraud or data manipulation.
Things to check
- 998,816-mile mileage anomaly on 19 Oct 2020 is a clear indicator of odometer fraud.
- Major failure for offside Air actuators on 12 Oct 2020, a safety-critical system, is unresolved.
- Major failure for both headlamps on 12 Oct 2020, a safety-critical system, is unresolved.
- No valid MOT status recorded by DVLA, a major legal and safety concern.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- No specific green flags are present in the MOT history for this vehicle.
