2020 Volvo XC40 1.5L Petrol · AE11 CUB

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test in May 2026 with 40,359 miles. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement following the 2024 test where multiple defects were identified. The latest inspection noted only a deteriorated rear registration plate and an obstruction caused by a child seat, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural integrity of the vehicle is currently meeting legal standards without failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between February 2023 at 11,689 miles and March 2024 at 27,915 miles, where the car covered over 16,000 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has moderated significantly, covering roughly 6,000 miles over the last two years. This lower annual mileage suggests limited wear on heavy-duty components like the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and brakes. A buyer should specifically inspect the front tyres in person, as the 2024 test flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as being close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This often indicates an alignment issue or incorrect tyre pressures that should be verified. While the 2024 record noted a damaged windscreen, the glass should be checked for any chips or cracks that may have progressed since that time. The history shows no recurring structural corrosion or brake binding issues, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained despite minor consumable-related issues.
