2015 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · KW65 ABN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-16 at 72,309 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this follows a failed test on the same date and mileage. Prior results show a pattern of alternating pass/fail outcomes without recorded defects, suggesting potential administrative inconsistencies or minor non-compliances not classified as safety-critical. The lack of recorded issues in the latest test implies no immediate roadworthiness concerns, though the repeated failures without explanation raise questions about the accuracy of the testing process. Mileage progression shows 55,339 miles in 2023, rising to 62,886 by 2024, then remaining static at 72,309 through 2025. This 9,447-mile increase over 12 months equates to 787 miles per month, aligning with average usage for the vehicle’s age. However, the absence of mileage growth between the 2024 and 2025 tests—despite the 2025 test occurring 12 months later—suggests possible inactivity or incomplete recording. Such gaps could indicate periods of prolonged storage, which may affect components like batteries, tyres, or fluid systems. The MOT history lacks specific mechanical or structural findings, but the repeated failures without defects imply potential issues beyond standard inspections. A buyer should verify the condition of the exhaust system, as emissions compliance is a common MOT failure point, and check for corrosion in body panels, which may not be flagged in routine tests. Electrical systems, including the alternator and battery, should also be assessed, as these can degrade without triggering MOT failures. Regular maintenance records, if available, would provide further clarity on the vehicle’s care history.
