About Volvo MOT Reliability
Volvo has 11 models in the UK MOT testing database, with an overall average pass rate of 74.5%. This is a solid result that sits around the UK average, though some individual models perform significantly better than others.
The most reliable Volvo models by MOT pass rate are V90 (87.2%), S90 (86.8%), and V60 (79.4%). 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.

You can also check for write-off history, outstanding finance, and mileage anomalies.
