2011 Volvo V50 1.6L Diesel · AF11 XNJ

The Volvo V50 presents as roadworthy following the July 2025 test cycle, with the most recent pass recorded on 2025-07-03 at 130,268 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes between June 2022 and July 2025 and no advisories or mechanical faults logged by testers at any stage. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 15-year-old vehicle. The record shows 107,284 miles at the June 2022 test, rising to 115,610 by June 2023, 123,646 by July 2024, and 130,268 by July 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 8,600 miles per year, a steady pattern with no abrupt jumps or long dormant periods suggesting neglect through disuse. The July 2025 entry lists both a fail and a pass on the same date at identical mileage with no defects recorded. This points to an administrative or documentation anomaly rather than a mechanical defect, as DVSA shows no outstanding faults. The clean run of tests implies previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits, though no deeper inspection data exists beyond the pass results. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 130,000-mile accumulation. The MOT record offers no flagged wear on these components, but absence of advisories does not confirm condition, only that items met minimum test thresholds on the day.
