About Volvo MOT Reliability

Volvo has 336 models in the UK MOT testing database, with an overall average pass rate of 87.7%. This places Volvo among the more reliable manufacturers on UK roads, with the majority of models achieving above-average MOT pass rates.

The most reliable Volvo models by MOT pass rate are P130 (100.0%), S90 Inscription + D5pp Awd A (100.0%), and V90 Inscription B5 Mhev Auto (100.0%). If you are looking for a used Volvo with the best chance of a clean MOT, these models are worth considering.

Before buying any used Volvo, we recommend checking the full MOT history by registration number. This will show you every test result, advisory, and failure since 2005 — giving you a clear picture of how the vehicle has been maintained. You can also check for write-off history, outstanding finance, and mileage anomalies.
