2019 Volvo XC40 2.0L Petrol · AV02 AMY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 March 2026 at 28,816 miles, but the tester flagged slight damage/cracking on all four tyres. The pattern of advisories shows a deteriorating tyre condition, with the April 2025 test already noting tyre wear and rear brake pad thinning, while the latest test adds front and rear tyre damage, indicating the trend is worsening rather than stabilising. Mileage‑wise the car is low for its age, averaging roughly 4,100 miles per year over seven years, which suggests light prior use. However, the interval between the April 2025 test (20,075 miles) and the March 2026 test (28,816 miles) covers about 8,700 miles in roughly eleven months, a notable acceleration that may reflect a change in usage patterns or recent higher‑demand driving. The test dates themselves are regular, with an annual MOT, so the data set is complete. A prospective buyer should closely examine the tyres for cracks, uneven wear and proper inflation, as the recurring advisories point to possible exposure to harsh conditions or inadequate maintenance. The rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin in 2025; a visual check of pad thickness and listening for squeal will be prudent. Additionally, inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion, and examine the underbody for rust, especially given the low mileage but age of the vehicle.
