2002 VOLVO S401.9L DIESEL

The most recent MOT was passed on December 17th, 2015, with the vehicle having recorded 194,617 miles. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre wear warnings appearing in the 2015 inspection, specifically noting the nearside front and offside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit. Brake pad wear was also noted at that time. The trend in the recorded history is not clearly worsening or improving as there are no subsequent MOT records to compare against the 2015 findings. The mileage of 194,617 miles on a vehicle that is approximately 24 years old suggests an average annual mileage of around 8,109 miles per year, which is generally typical for this age bracket. This level of mileage indicates that wear on consumables such as suspension components, brakes, and drivetrain parts is expected. A buyer should inspect the tyres immediately, as the previous report flagged them as being close to the legal limit. They should also thoroughly check the brake system components, paying close attention to the brake pads and any visible signs of corrosion on the brake pipes mentioned in the older report. Finally, a detailed visual inspection of the suspension and drivetrain for any signs of wear consistent with the mileage is essential.
