2009 Volvo V50 1.6L Diesel · DB09 KSB

The 2009 VOLVO V50's MOT history shows a fluctuating maintenance trend, with the most recent test in June 2025 resulting in a failure despite the vehicle having 152,124 miles. This indicates a potential worsening condition compared to the previous year's pass. The 2024 test also revealed a failure at 136,310 miles, suggesting a recurring issue that has not been resolved over time. The vehicle's annual mileage is approximately 8,948 miles, which is consistent with its age. However, there is a notable gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests, with a significant mileage increase of roughly 13,000 miles in a little over a year. This rapid accumulation could imply either increased usage or a potential gap in the vehicle's service history. The 2023 test at 120,720 miles passed without any defects recorded. A potential buyer should closely inspect the vehicle's suspension system, brakes, and drivetrain components due to the recurring failures observed in the MOT history. Attention should also be given to any signs of wear on consumables such as tires and brake pads, which could be indicative of the vehicle's overall usage pattern and maintenance history. Given the vehicle's age and mileage context, it is advisable to investigate the reasons behind the 2025 failure to ensure the car's roadworthiness before making a purchase decision.
