Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1990 Volvo 740 GLE Auto, with a reported 49,662 miles, comes with a full service history and extensive paperwork, including a service book with 50 stamps. However, it has been garaged for the last ten years with limited use, and there are concerns about the accuracy of the odometer reading which suggests noticeable cosmetic and mechanical wear.

Condition 

5

The car has been garaged and not used for ten years, apart from yearly MOTs, suggesting potential mechanical issues from inactivity. There's mention of it being a 'little dusty,' indicating cosmetic wear. The odometer reading is 'assumed to be incorrect,' pointing to possible discrepancies and the need for further inspection and reconditioning. These factors combined indicate 'Above Average' condition.
