2006 VOLVO S602.4L DIESEL

This vehicle presents an extremely high risk to a buyer because there have been no recorded MOT tests for nearly 14 years. The last available entry is from September 2012, meaning the car's current roadworthiness and safety status are entirely unknown. The available history shows a clear worsening trend in the vehicle's condition leading up to its last test. While it had a clean pass in 2010, by 2012 it was failing on critical safety items, specifically the parking brake efficiency and a lack of reserve travel in the brake lever. There is a recurring pattern of neglect regarding consumables. The records show repeated failures and advisories for tyres worn to the legal limit and, more concerningly, rear tyres that were deteriorated and splitting. This suggests a lack of preventative maintenance. The mileage of 148,333 miles is typical for a 20-year-old car. However, because the recorded mileage has not increased since September 2012, it is highly likely this vehicle has been standing for a very long period. Long-term inactivity often leads to seized brakes, perished rubber components, and fuel system degradation.
