2021 Volvo XC40 Inscription EXP T4RCHRG A 1.5L Hybrid electric · BJ71 PBV

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 18 October 2025. While the car initially failed the test on that same date due to a non-functional nearside rear stop lamp, the defect was rectified immediately to secure a re-pass. This indicates the owner is responsive to safety-critical failures, and the record shows no recurring mechanical or structural defects across the available testing history. The vehicle has covered 61,581 miles over five years, averaging approximately 12,316 miles per annum. This usage sits slightly above the national average for a passenger car, suggesting consistent motorway or long commuting use. Between the October 2024 test at 42,342 miles and the October 2025 test at 61,581 miles, the car accumulated 19,239 miles in a single year. This higher rate of accumulation accelerates the wear on consumable components such as suspension bushings and brake hardware. Given the high mileage density, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension assembly and tyres for signs of premature wear. The MOT record lacks any advisories for corrosion or thinning brake pads, but the high mileage necessitates a close check of the brake discs for scoring and calipers for binding. Focus on the undercarriage for any signs of road spray damage, as consistent use has likely exposed the chassis to significant environmental factors beyond what a lower-mileage vehicle would encounter.
