VOLVO V402017 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a notably clean maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 15 September 2025 at 65,453 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a sequence of three clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems have met DVSA standards without recurring failures or deteriorating conditions. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per annum. Between September 2024 and September 2025, the car covered 6,977 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of neglect or sudden high-intensity driving. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on heavy-duty components like the clutch, turbo, and suspension bushings, though it can sometimes lead to rubber-related degradation not seen in higher-mileage vehicles. The only anomaly in the record is a single failure on 15 September 2022 at 41,625 miles, though the vehicle passed immediately upon re-test that same day. Since then, no advisories have appeared for the braking system, tyre integrity, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection for minor corrosion on the underbody and suspension arm bolts, as the MOT does not test for fluid leaks or minor surface rust. Given the clean history, the record suggests an owner who proactively maintained the vehicle to avoid the common mechanical failures often found in Volvos of this age.
