2008 Volvo V70 2.4L Diesel · AB08 VLE

The most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 at 198,811 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy and the maintenance trend is stable, with no deterioration evident across the five annual tests. Mileage has risen from 178,132 miles on 1 November 2021 to 198,811 miles on 28 October 2025, an average increase of roughly 5,000 miles per year. This progression aligns with the 11,000‑mile‑per‑year average expected for a 2008 model, and the consistent yearly testing schedule shows no unexplained gaps or sudden spikes in usage. A prospective buyer should focus on consumable wear that the MOT record does not capture. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, verify brake disc surface and pad thickness, and feel for any play in the suspension bushes or coil springs. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion, check for any surface rust on the chassis, and confirm that the steering rack and tie‑rod ends operate smoothly. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults, the vehicle’s age warrants a thorough visual and functional check of these components before purchase.
