VOLVO V402019 · 1.5L PETROL

The vehicle presents a generally stable roadworthiness profile, though recent history indicates a lapse in maintenance regarding consumable wear items. In the most recent test conducted on 1 October 2025 at 43,785 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just two days prior on 29 September 2025 at 43,621 miles, where the tester flagged the offside front tyre for exposed ply or cords. While this issue was addressed immediately to secure the retest, it suggests that the owner may not monitor tyre depth regularly outside of the annual inspection cycle. The mileage progression is consistent with light usage, averaging approximately 6,255 miles per year over the seven-year period. Records show a steady increase from 17,155 miles in September 2022 to 43,785 miles by late 2025. During the September 2024 test at 32,425 miles, the inspector noted the brake pads were wearing thin all around. This is a standard consumable item for a vehicle of this age, and the fact that the car passed the following year without this advisory suggests the necessary service work was performed. The structural and mechanical history shows no recurring deep corrosion or significant suspension failures. The earlier recorded tests from 2022 and 2023 were clean, indicating a period of well-maintained operation. Given the low annual mileage and the resolution of the recent tyre failure, the vehicle does not appear to suffer from major mechanical neglect. A buyer should still verify the current condition of all four tyres and check brake pad thickness to ensure the issues identified in 2024 and 2025 have been fully rectified.
