VOLVO V402017 · 2.0L Petrol

The current roadworthiness status of this Volvo V40 is excellent, characterized by a clean and stable maintenance history. The most recent MOT conducted on 23 June 2025 at 83,142 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard. This consistent record of defect-free passes suggests the owner has likely addressed mechanical issues promptly or ensured the vehicle undergoes thorough pre-test preparation. The vehicle has covered 83,142 miles over nine years, averaging approximately 9,238 miles annually. This usage pattern is consistent and suggests regular, moderate operation rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty use. The mileage progression between the 2022 test at 43,985 miles and the 2025 test shows steady accumulation, with a notable jump of roughly 15,000 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This indicates the vehicle remains in active service and has not suffered from the deterioration often associated with long-term storage. Despite the clean MOT history, the lack of recorded advisories does not preclude the need for a physical inspection of consumable components. You should prioritize checking the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these are often replaced between MOT cycles and may be nearing their wear limits given the recent mileage increase. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perished rubber, as these components frequently wear out on V40 models of this age. Verify the integrity of the exhaust system and check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay or transmission housing to ensure that the absence of MOT failures reflects genuine mechanical health rather than superficial maintenance.
