2002 Volvo C70 2.0L Petrol · YT02 AEV

The Volvo C70 passed its most recent MOT on 4 November 2021 at 149,459 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The record shows two failed tests on 2 November 2021 and 9 May 2019, both at the same mileage as the subsequent passes two days later, with no defects listed on either failure. This pattern indicates administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than unresolved mechanical conditions, as the car cleared with a clean sheet within days on both occasions. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,227 miles against the vehicle's 24-year life, a typical figure for a 2002 car. The records jump from 131,005 miles on 11 May 2019 to 140,319 miles by 16 November 2020, then to 149,459 miles by November 2021, showing steady low use of around 8,000 to 9,000 miles per year in that window. A gap exists before the 2019 entry, with no earlier tests supplied, but the data that exists is sparse and clean with no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions concerns logged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's age and the absence of any advisory history that might otherwise confirm those areas were examined closely. The lack of recorded brake, suspension bush, or coil spring defects across five tests does not guarantee freedom from wear at 149,459 miles; these components degrade with time regardless of low annual use. Verify the condition of tyres, exhaust, and flexible brake hoses in person, as the MOT record offers no evidence either way on consumable condition beyond the test dates cited.
