2007 Volvo V50 2.0L Petrol · CU07 LBZ

The Volvo V50 passed its most recent MOT on 3 December 2025 at 118,267 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend appears stable across the available history. The prior pass came on 9 December 2024 at 113,279 miles, also with no advisories. Two failed tests on 3 December 2025 and 4 December 2024 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, since the DVSA record shows no defects on either failure. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,225 miles per year against the car's 2007 build, a typical figure for a 19-year-old vehicle. The record jumps from 106,176 miles at the 2 August 2023 test to 113,279 miles by December 2024, then to 118,267 miles by December 2025, showing low and consistent annual use of about 5,100 to 7,000 miles. The 16-month gap between the August 2023 and December 2024 tests is the only notable interval, but the clean results indicate no accumulated neglect during that period. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record captures only pass-day condition and a 2007 Volvo is now prone to age-related rust. The tester logged no advisories on brake discs, suspension bushes, or coil springs across any entry, yet worn components can develop between tests without being flagged. Given the duplicated fail and pass entries at the same mileages, confirm with the seller which garage processed the December 2024 and December 2025 work to rule out clerical anomalies in the chain of custody.
