2018 Volvo V40 1.5L Petrol · BD18 SYP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on June 1 2026 at 83,245 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of reactive upkeep. While the 2025 failure for a critical tyre condition was addressed, the subsequent pass with clean results indicates that the current owner is addressing immediate safety concerns and maintaining the basic testing standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with average UK usage, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year over the vehicle's eight-year life. The data shows steady progression, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and approximately 9,200 miles between 2024 and 2025. This regularity suggests the car is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent internal degradation of rubber components and brake caliper seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension. The record notes thin rear brake pads in both 2023 and 2024, and while these were likely replaced, a check should ensure the pads are not prematurely wearing again. The recurring issues with uneven tyre wear in 2023 and a structural cord failure in 2025 suggest potential issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes that require verification. Additionally, ensure the front undertray remains securely fastened as per the 2024 advisory to prevent aerodynamic drag or damage to lower components at speed.
