Volvo MOT pass rates by model and age
First-time pass rate of every Volvo model in our data together: initial tests passed with no repairs. The same-age average for all vehicles first used in the same years is 74.1%.
That is 1.9 points above the same-age average. Of the 13 Volvo models listed below, 9 are above the same-age average, 3 are below it and 1 can't be told apart from it.

- Furthest below the same-age averageV50 (−3.9 pts), V40 (−1.8 pts), C30 (−1.4 pts)
An MOT pass rate is one signal: it doesn't record breakdowns or repair costs, and it also reflects mileage and upkeep.

What MOT data can't tell you
Outstanding finance, write-offs, theft and plate changes aren't in MOT records. For a particular car, you need a history check.
