2018 Volvo V40 1.5L Petrol · BK67 BOJ

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on 23 March 2026 at 69,481 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has avoided any recorded defects in its last three inspections. This suggests that the primary mechanical and structural components have been maintained to a standard that meets regulatory requirements consistently over several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. The data shows a steady accumulation between March 2022 (38,119 miles) and March 2024 (47,655 miles), where the car covered roughly 4,700 miles annually. The jump of 9,934 miles between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests indicates regular use, which helps prevent component degradation and seal failure associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should note the advisory from the 25 March 2025 test at 59,547 miles, where both the nearside and offside front inner tyres were flagged as being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. While this was resolved by the subsequent test, edge wear often indicates a tracking alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. A physical inspection should verify the current state of the front tyres and check the integrity of the front control arms and bushings to ensure the uneven wear has not returned. Given the lack of any recorded structural corrosion or brake failures in the history, the focus during inspection should remain on the physical condition of the lower bodywork for emerging rust and the state of the suspension components. The clean record over the last two years suggests an owner who has not neglected basic upkeep, but the previous tyre issue in 2025 warrants a thorough check of the front-end geometry.
