VOLVO V402014 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent inspection. The latest MOT test on 16 September 2025 at 41,756 miles resulted in no defects, indicating the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred on 11 September 2025 at the same mileage, the immediate pass just five days later suggests a minor component, such as a bulb or fuse, was rectified quickly without indicating a deep-seated mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old Volvo, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between September 2023 at 36,341 miles and September 2025 at 41,756 miles, the vehicle covered only 5,415 miles over two years. This consistent low-usage profile suggests the drivetrain and engine components have faced significantly less wear than the average example. However, such long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and brake fluid if the car has sat for extended months without regular operation. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related wear that mileage alone does not capture. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or per, as these perish over time regardless of low mileage. Examine the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, as low-use vehicles often suffer from oxidation on the rotors. Given the clean history regarding structural advisories, the chassis appears sound, but a physical check of the lower underbody remains prudent to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed during the periods of low use.
