2013 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · BA11 TMC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT test on February 9, 2026, where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable over the last three years, despite a single failure recorded in January 2024. Since that failure, the car has passed two consecutive tests without any advisories or defects, indicating that the specific mechanical issue identified at that time was rectified and has not recurred in subsequent inspections. At 129,071 miles, the Volvo V40 reflects an average of approximately 10,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle. The record shows consistent annual testing, with a notable exception between January 2024 and February 2024 where a re-test occurred just three weeks after a failure. The mileage level suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which typically places consistent load on wear-related components such as the suspension geometry and braking system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most prone to fatigue at this mileage and age. While the recent records are clean, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the rear suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for signs of perishing or tearing. The brakes should also be inspected for thinning discs or caliper corrosion, given that the vehicle has passed without advisories for these items recently. Structural integrity around the lower sills and mounting points remains a standard priority for a vehicle of this era. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.
