2016 Volvo V40 1.5L Petrol · CF16 ABK

This Volvo V40 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 December 2025 at 50,016 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed a test on 12 December 2025 at 49,984 miles, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue resolved instantly. The mileage is notably low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,002 miles per year. The distance covered between the December 2024 test at 45,513 miles and the December 2025 test at 50,016 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 4,500 miles over the year. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or prolonged periods of standing. The absence of advisories across the 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or very light duty cycles. Because the MOT history is unusually clean, it provides no data on the wear of consumables like brake discs or suspension bushes. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that often degrade regardless of mileage. Check for perishing rubber seals, the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, and any signs of surface corrosion on the underbody. Verify the service history to ensure the oil and filters were changed at regular intervals despite the low annual mileage to confirm the engine has not suffered from under-use.
