2012 Volvo V50 1.6L Diesel · WG61 FCF

The Volvo V50 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 14 October 2025 at 141,984 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history. The vehicle cleared every pass test without advisories, and the only failures logged were administrative or non-mechanical in nature, as the DVSA record shows no defects cited on either the 2 October 2025 or 24 September 2024 failure entries. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2012 car, averaging roughly 10,142 miles per year against the 141,984 miles recorded. The odometer moved from 126,964 miles at the September 2023 test to 135,162 miles by late September 2024, then to 141,725 miles by October 2025. That is steady use with no sudden accumulation spikes. The record is sparse but clean between pass and fail events, showing no consumable wear items or structural concerns formally raised by testers. The two failure entries with zero defects suggest the car was presented early or for documentary reasons rather than for broken components. A buyer should still confirm in person that the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs show no latent corrosion or wear the tests did not capture. At 14 years old and near 142,000 miles, inspect subframe and sills for structural rust, and verify the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load. Given the absence of advisories across five years of testing, previous owners appear to have kept the V50 to a basic pass standard. The lack of flagged tyre or wiper wear implies routine consumables were addressed before each test. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to validate the untouched MOT record against real-world condition.
