2021 Volvo XC40 1.5L Petrol · AF21 SFK

The Volvo XC40 presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 16 March 2026 at 56,721 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with every successful test showing a clean sheet and no advisories carried forward. A failed test on 9 March 2026 at 56,656 miles is logged, yet the DVSA entry records no defects, indicating the failure stemmed from administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical fault, and the vehicle cleared seven days later. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a five-year-old car. The record shows 36,425 miles at the 6 March 2024 test, rising to 52,008 miles by 12 March 2025 and 56,721 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 15,500 miles in year one of the record and under 5,000 miles in the final twelve months, suggesting lighter recent use. The sparse history contains no flagged wear on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any test. Given the absence of recorded mechanical or structural defects, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items the MOT may not capture in detail. Examine brake caliper operation, coil spring condition, and exhaust emissions at cold start. Verify the 9 March 2026 failure cause with the selling garage to confirm no suppressed fault. The clean advisories across four tests imply previous owners kept basic upkeep current. Low recent mileage means fluids, wiper blades, and tyre sidewalls may have aged rather than worn. A pre-purchase check of structural integrity underneath remains sensible on any used SUV.
