2008 VOLVO V702.4L Diesel

The vehicle passed the latest MOT on 13 January 2025 at 228,766 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and a stable maintenance trend. The odometer has climbed from 176,685 miles in November 2021 to 228,766 miles in January 2025, averaging roughly 12,700 miles per year, which is high for a 2008 model. The interval between the 2023 test (195,057 miles) and the 2024 failure/pass (210,952 miles) shows about 16,000 miles covered in a year, indicating accelerated use rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check rear brake calipers for binding and examine brake discs for scoring, assess the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, and verify structural integrity for rust on the chassis and wheel arches, as these components are prone to deterioration at high annual mileage. While the MOT history shows no recorded defects, the high mileage per year suggests increased likelihood of consumable wear; a thorough physical inspection should confirm that suspension components, braking systems, and structural elements remain within service limits and that any previous advisories have been fully rectified.
