I wonder why the American listings put Volvo at bottom (as there is no comprehensive annual inspection like the MOT or TÜV checks in Europe). In Europe, the bottom quality tends to be American and some French and Italian cars.

A fairly detailed statistics is from TÜV annual inspection reports, found here: http://www.anusedcar.com/

There, Volvo is rather average. Where I live (Finland), Volvos tend to get a bit more kilometers than most other brands, so being not at the bottom of listing means they're doing reasonable quality.




Volvo is down there with American brands in the American reports...


I can only speak anecdotally but Volvos have a reputation in America for requiring more maintenance more frequently than other manufacturers.
