2016 Volvo V40 1.5L Petrol · AV16 AGY

This Volvo V40 presents a stable and exceptionally clean maintenance profile. The most recent MOT on 10 June 2025 at 36,387 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and remains in a roadworthy condition. The mileage is remarkably low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,639 miles per year. The distance covered between the May 2022 test (25,745 miles) and the June 2025 test (36,387 miles) shows a steady, light usage pattern. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or sudden changes in ownership patterns. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding mechanical faults. A failure on 28 March 2023 at 27,621 miles was resolved within a week for the successful test on 5 April 2023, though the record lists no specific defects for either entry. This lack of reported issues across five years suggests a vehicle that has avoided common age-related failures such as suspension bush degradation or brake disc corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that deteriorate due to inactivity rather than wear. Low-mileage cars often suffer from perished tyre rubber, seized brake calipers, or degraded battery health. Check the date codes on the tyres and ensure the brake pedal feel is firm, as the lack of recorded advisories does not rule out the effects of long periods of standing.
