2008 VOLVO XC702.4L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-12-03 at 175,317 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, a failed test on 2023-11-16 at 160,963 miles—just one day prior to a subsequent pass at 160,964 miles—suggests potential inconsistency in testing outcomes. No defects were recorded in either test, which may reflect administrative errors or minor issues resolved before retesting. Overall, the absence of recorded faults in the last three tests implies acceptable roadworthiness, though the failed entry warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 175,317 miles over 18 years equates to approximately 9,740 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, with gaps of 11–12 months between assessments. Notably, the 2022-12-10 test at 150,415 miles and 2021-12-16 test at 142,560 miles indicate consistent monitoring. No significant mileage spikes or extended periods of inactivity are evident, suggesting steady usage. The record is otherwise clean, with no recurring defects or advisories. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common in older Volvos, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The failed 2023 test, though unexplained, highlights the need to verify brake functionality and exhaust emissions. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or panel damage may not appear in MOT records. Given the lack of recorded issues, the vehicle appears well-maintained, but physical inspection remains critical to confirm hidden faults.
