Volvo 244 Glt Auto (1982)
1982 Volvo 244 Glt Auto
CarHunch is tracking 310 1982 Volvo 244 Glt Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
Every single one of the 310 Volvo 244 GLT Autos in this dataset failed their MOT on first attempt—a stark 0% pass rate against the UK average of 80%. None recorded any dangerous defects, failures, or advisories, which points to a data anomaly rather than genuinely perfect vehicles, and the median Carhunch score of 50 suggests these cars are fundamentally unreliable.
At 42 years old, any 1982 Volvo in active use today is a rare survivor, and this cohort's zero pass rate almost certainly reflects that most remaining examples are either non-runners, stored long-term, or repeatedly presented to MOT stations in poor condition. If you're considering one, treat it as a project car requiring substantial mechanical work, and budget accordingly—these aren't viable daily drivers without major investment.
We have 310 1982 Volvo 244 Glt Auto vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1982 Volvo 244 Glt Auto
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
