2016 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · AD16 HBY

The 2016 Volvo V40 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 92,488 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,249 miles, typical for a ten-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 42,759 miles in October 2021, 55,940 by September 2022, 67,139 in September 2023, 78,156 in October 2024, and 92,488 in November 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every entry listing zero advisories across suspension, brakes, emissions, and structure. A clean history with no advisories suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables and mechanical items within tolerance. Still, a buyer should physically verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these wear silently between tests. Check underneath for corrosion on structural members and the exhaust system, since the record offers no evidence either way. Given the absence of recorded defects, the V40 shows no worsening pattern or recurring fault trend. Treat the MOT pass as a baseline, not a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection of tyres, wiper blades, and underbody integrity at 92,488 miles.
