2024 Volvo C123RLE EV Electricity · BT24 WRP

The most recent MOT, dated 31 July 2025, shows the car passed with no recorded defects at 55,536 miles. The earlier test on 30 December 2024 also passed cleanly at 12,756 miles. With only two entries, both spotless, the MOT record itself suggests a stable safety picture – no recurring faults have been flagged. What does stand out is the mileage jump of over 42,000 miles in just seven months. For a two‑year‑old vehicle that works out to roughly 27,800 miles per year, which is well above the average for a private‑owner car. Such high utilisation usually translates into faster wear on consumable components – brakes, tyres, suspension bushings and, in an EV, the high‑voltage battery and cooling system. The MOT does not test battery health, so the rapid mileage increase is a signal to probe that area more closely. Because the MOT history is limited but clean, there is no evidence of a worsening defect trend. The condition trend appears stable from the test perspective, but the mileage pattern hints at accelerated wear rather than a genuine improvement. In other words, the car has not shown any recorded faults, but the heavy use could be eroding parts that the MOT does not inspect.
