2010 VOLVO V702.4L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection on October 7, 2025, 181,477 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failure followed by a pass in both 2024 and 2025. These recurring failures without specific defect descriptions recorded in the history suggest the issues were likely minor rectifyable items, such as blown bulbs or minor lighting adjustments, which were addressed immediately prior to the re-test. At 181,477 miles, this Volvo V70 has averaged approximately 11,342 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows consistent use, with roughly 6,800 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 5,853 miles recorded between October 2024 and 2025. This regular interval indicates the car is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which generally benefits the preservation of seals and rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage components that are prone to wear on this specific model. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity for corrosion on the rear sills and lower bodywork is essential. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, and examine the brake system for binding calipers or worn discs. While the MOT record is currently clean of advisories, the age and mileage of the vehicle necessitate an evaluation of the drivetrain components and exhaust system to ensure no significant leaks or degradation have developed between tests.
