VOLVO V402017 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT record over the last five years. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 128,752 miles passed with no defects recorded, maintaining a consistent trend of perfect scores across previous inspections. This stability suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical issues before they resulted in test failures, indicating a disciplined approach to vehicle upkeep. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 14,300 miles per year over its nine-year life. Data shows steady accumulation between tests, such as the 16,750 miles driven between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 16,751 miles between late 2024 and late 2025. While this annual figure is above the national average, the consistent interval suggests the car was likely used for regular motorway commuting, which often mitigates the wear associated with short city trips and long stationary periods. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of components subject to accelerated friction-related wear. A buyer should scrutinise the front suspension assembly for worn bushes and coil springs, as these components frequently fatigue after passing the 100,000-mile mark. The braking system requires checking for thinning discs and seized calipers, as the MOT test does not measure the thickness of the pads. Additionally, inspecting the chassis for corrosion along the structural sills is vital to ensure the high-mileage exposure has not led to structural degradation over time.
