2013 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · SK13 ADX

This Volvo V40 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 January 2026 at 82,587 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a state of good repair without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 13 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,353 miles per year. Usage has remained steady, as seen between the December 2022 test at 67,928 miles and the January 2026 test at 82,587 miles. There is a minor anomaly in January 2024 where the vehicle failed on 2 January at 73,061 miles but passed a week later at 73,091 miles. The lack of recorded defects for that failure is unusual but indicates the issue was rectified immediately. The absence of advisories over the last four years is rare for a vehicle of this age. No recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear in the record. There are no mentions of structural corrosion or weld repairs, which often plague older chassis. A physical inspection should focus on age-related wear that MOT tests sometimes overlook. Check the condition of the rubber seals and the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine regardless of the clean MOT record. Verify the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads to ensure consumables are not nearing the end of their life.
