2013 Volvo V40 SE D2 1.6L Heavy oil · JGZ 2052

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-04-09 assessment at 111,703 miles. The 2022-10-04 failure reported no defects, suggesting an anomaly or potential data inconsistency. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2026 show consistent compliance, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged. This indicates the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards, though the absence of defect details in the failed test limits full diagnostic insight. Mileage progression aligns with average annual usage of 8,593 miles, reflecting steady rather than rapid wear. Tests spaced 12–14 months apart suggest regular servicing, with no significant gaps in inspection frequency. The 2022-11-19 test at 86,632 miles followed the 2022-10-04 failure, implying potential remedial action was taken. However, the lack of defect records in the failed test complicates assessment of underlying issues. Overall, the mileage and MOT pattern indicate consistent use without excessive strain on components. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body mounts, given the 2022 failure’s unresolved nature. Inspect suspension components like coil springs and bushings for wear, as these often degrade over time without immediate MOT failure. Check brake systems for uneven disc wear or caliper binding, as these can emerge post-incident. While recent tests show no issues, the 2022 failure warrants scrutiny of repair history and any residual damage not captured in subsequent reports.
