2013 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · AB58 DXN

The 2013 Volvo V40 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 70,622 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 28 August 2024 at 68,215 miles confirms no ongoing mechanical or structural concerns across the available history. The recorded mileage of 70,622 against a 13-year-old car equates to roughly 5,432 miles per year, indicating light use. Annual increments stayed low and consistent: 65,473 miles on 6 September 2023, 68,215 on 28 August 2024, and 70,622 on 28 August 2025. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean aside from two anomalous failures logged immediately before the subsequent passes, both on 1 September 2023 and 27 August 2024 at unchanged mileages of 65,473 and 68,215 respectively, with no defects cited. That pattern points to administrative or presentation errors at the testing station rather than deferred owner upkeep. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing inferred from low annual mileage. Long stationary intervals promote corrosion on structural members and brake binding even where the MOT shows no advisories. The absence of recorded advisories across four passed tests suggests the previous keeper addressed consumables before each examination. Verify underside condition and tyre sidewall ageing in person, as the clean record offers no signal of hidden wear the annual test may not have captured.
