2009 Volvo V70 2.5L Petrol · CX09 UCM

The Volvo V70 passed its most recent MOT on 26 February 2026 at 82,609 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no advisories or mechanical faults raised. The vehicle shows a clean test profile. Two earlier failures on 26 February 2026 and 24 February 2025 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes suggest administrative rejections rather than mechanical faults, since the records list no defects on either fail or pass. Annual mileage sits at roughly 4,859 miles per year against 17 years of age, a low figure for a 2009 estate. The record moves from 73,499 miles on 15 February 2024 to 78,665 miles on 24 February 2025, then to 82,609 miles by 25 February 2026. That is about 4,000 to 5,000 miles added each year with no sudden jumps. Low use of this kind often means long standing periods, which can age rubber suspension bushes, brake caliper seals, and tyres even when the odometer stays low. A buyer should still inspect the car in person for corrosion on structural outriggers and subframe mounts, as the MOT does not record absence of rust where none was flagged. Check the front coil springs and suspension arms for cracking from age rather than mileage. Verify the brake discs and calipers are free, since standing wet can seize slides without showing on a pass sheet. Given the sparse and clean record, previous keepers appear to have presented the car for test with basic roadworthiness intact. The repeated same-day fail and pass entries point to paperwork or fee issues at the centre, not deferred maintenance. Confirm service history and underbody condition before purchase.
