2013 Volvo V40 1.6L Petrol · N12 AAW

The most recent MOT test, conducted on 4 November 2025 at 65,416 miles, resulted in a pass. However, the maintenance trend is concerning, as several advisories have been raised over the years. The recurring issue with worn tyres, particularly the 2024 test where both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit, suggests a lack of regular tyre checks. Furthermore, the 2022 test revealed worn brake pads and brake discs, which could indicate a history of inadequate brake maintenance. The mileage pattern of approximately 5,032 miles per year is relatively low for a vehicle of this age, which could imply lighter use or extended periods of inactivity. However, the record shows a notable gap in mileage between 2023 and 2024, with a 4,964-mile difference. This gap might be due to the vehicle being stored or used infrequently during this period. The rapid mileage accumulation between 2022 and 2023, with a 7,946-mile increase, is also worth noting. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and steering components, particularly the nearside front coil spring, which fractured or broke in 2023. The 2022 test also revealed worn suspension arm pins or bushes on both rear axles, which could indicate a history of uneven wear or misalignment. Additionally, the buyer should check the brake system, as the 2022 test showed worn brake pads and brake discs on both axles. The vehicle's structural integrity should also be assessed, as the 2022 test revealed corrosion on the nearside front coil spring.
