AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy; the latest MOT on 27 June 2025 at 17 021 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record up to the most recent test. At nine years old the V40 has accumulated only 17 021 miles, roughly 1 900 miles per annum, which is well below average usage. The mileage progression shows a consistent, low‑rate increase: 13 150 mi in July 2022, 14 846 mi in July 2023, 16 106 mi in July 2024 and 17 021 mi in June 2025. No sudden spikes or gaps appear, suggesting the car has not been subjected to periods of intensive use or prolonged storage that might hide hidden wear. The MOT history contains no recorded advisories or failures on critical systems such as suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. Nevertheless, a prudent buyer should inspect the condition of the suspension components for any signs of wear, verify that the brake pads and discs are within service limits, and check for any surface rust on chassis members, particularly around wheel arches and under‑body panels. Confirm that tyre tread depth remains above the legal minimum and that wiper blades are not excessively worn. A visual and functional check of the steering feel, clutch operation and any audible noises during a short drive will further corroborate the clean MOT record. Ensuring these items are satisfactory will reinforce the impression of a well‑maintained, low‑mileage vehicle.
