2012 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · AD12 ATY

The 2012 Volvo V40 is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 July 2025 at 88,794 miles. The tester flagged the near‑side rear tyre tread approaching the legal limit, echoing a similar advisory recorded on 18 July 2024 at 83,117 miles where both front tyres were flagged. Overall the maintenance record shows a stable trend, with no new mechanical defects emerging. Mileage has risen from 60,527 miles in July 2021 to 88,794 miles in July 2025, averaging roughly 6,300 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The annual increments vary modestly but no prolonged periods of inactivity or sudden high‑kilometre spikes appear in the record. The data set is complete, with a MOT each July, indicating regular testing compliance. A prospective buyer should examine the tyre tread on all four wheels, confirming that wear is even and that sidewalls are free of cracks, as the MOT notes suggest the tyres are nearing replacement. While no brake or suspension faults were recorded, a visual inspection of brake discs, pads and calipers for binding or uneven wear is prudent. Checking suspension bushes, coil springs and steering components for play, and scanning the chassis for corrosion, especially around wheel arches, will verify that the underlying systems supporting the tyres remain sound.
