2022 Volvo C40 Ultimate Recharge EV Electricity · KN72 WKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on December 4, 2025 at 18,491 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive approach to safety-critical faults, evidenced by the immediate rectification of structural tyre failures. While the car failed the test just two days prior on December 2, 2025, the subsequent pass indicates that the owner addressed the flagged mechanical defects to bring the vehicle back to legal standards. At 18,491 miles over four years, this Volvo has clocked a significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,623 miles per annum. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical stress from time, which typically preserves the high-voltage drivetrain and suspension components. However, low-mileage EVs can suffer from brake corrosion or flat-spotting tyres if not driven frequently, though the record does not highlight these specific issues beyond the tyre-related failures. A buyer must inspect the front axle alignment, as both the offside and nearside front tyres exhibited uneven edge wear during the December tests. This pattern often points to incorrect camber settings or worn suspension bushes which will continue to prematurely consume new tyres. It is also essential to verify that the nearside front tyre was replaced with a high-quality unit, as the previous structural bulge noted by the tester was a safety risk that required total replacement.
