2008 Volvo V70 2.4L Diesel · CU57 CKE

The 2008 Volvo V70 passed its most recent MOT on 26 March 2026 at 195,623 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable. The test on the same date initially logged a failure with no defects cited, a known DVLA administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior passes at 188,952 miles on 10 April 2025, 184,484 miles on 9 April 2024, and 177,277 miles on 4 April 2023 show a clean five-year advisory-free run. Annual mileage averages 10,868 across the car's eighteen-year life, matching typical use for this age bracket. The records show steady accumulation: 6,795 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, 4,468 miles to April 2025, then 6,671 miles to the March 2026 test. No standing periods or sudden high-use spikes appear in the data. The sparse but clean record gives no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or ignored wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and 195k mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not capture incipient wear below fail thresholds. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions should be checked for age-related degradation not yet severe enough to record. The absence of recurring faults means no worsening mechanical trend exists in the official data. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to test standard. Verify service history and underside condition before purchase to confirm the MOT cleanliness reflects real care.
