VOLVO XC40 R-DESIGN T5 RECHARGE AUTO2021 · 1.5L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

This vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 16 July 2025 at 24,147 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the 8 July 2024 test, indicating a vehicle that has maintained a high standard of mechanical integrity without recurring faults. The mileage is notably low for a five year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,829 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between the 2024 and 2025 tests, with the odometer climbing from 13,116 to 24,147 miles. This jump of over 11,000 miles in a single year suggests a shift in usage patterns, but the absence of any new advisories during the 2025 inspection confirms the car handled the increased mileage without developing immediate wear issues. Because the MOT history is exceptionally sparse and free of defects, there are no specific recurring mechanical failures to flag. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that can degrade regardless of mileage, particularly if the car experienced periods of standing. Check the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and inspect the tyre sidewalls for age related cracking or flat spots. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes and filter replacements occurred at the manufacturer's recommended intervals rather than solely by mileage. Given the low total mileage, the suspension bushes and coil springs should remain in good condition, but a visual check for perished rubber seals is prudent for a vehicle of this age.
