2019 Volvo XC40 1.5L Petrol · P22 CCE

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-24 recorded a pass but noted the nearside rear child seat obstructing full inspection of the adult seat belt. The nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit and showed edge wear, a condition also flagged in earlier MOTs. This suggests ongoing tyre wear, potentially linked to alignment, suspension, or driving habits. A prior failure on 2025-09-23 revealed critical brake pad issues: the offside front inner pad was wearing thin, and the offside rear outer pad was below 1.5 mm. Both front and rear brake discs were worn but not excessively. These findings indicate progressive brake component degradation, with similar disc wear noted in the 2024 MOT. The pattern suggests consistent brake system usage or potential underlying issues affecting pad longevity. Tyre-related defects have persisted since 2024, including edge wear, cuts, and perishing. While some were minor (e.g., cuts not reaching cords), the recurrence implies ongoing stress on tyres, possibly from uneven wear, improper inflation, or suspension misalignment. No major tyre failures were recorded, but the trend warrants closer inspection.
