2014 VOLVO V401.6L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, reflecting a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 103,105 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just nine days prior at the same mileage. This suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying non-compliance issues immediately to secure a valid certificate. Since 2023, the car has avoided any recurring mechanical or structural failures during the official testing process. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year over its twelve-year life. The data shows a steady accumulation, moving from 92,503 miles in October 2023 to 95,625 miles in October 2024, and reaching over 103,000 miles by late 2025. This regularity indicates the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber components, engine seals, and fluid integrity. While the MOT history is currently clean, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to wear at the 100,000-mile mark. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as these often degrade after a decade of use. Given the mileage, checking the condition of the brake discs and the presence of binding calipers is also necessary to ensure the system remains responsive. A visual check of the chassis for structural corrosion is advisable to confirm that the typical age-related surface rust has not yet reached the threshold of an MOT failure.
