2022 Volvo XC40 Rdesign PRO T5 Recharge A 1.5L Hybrid electric · CF22 FPK

The most recent DVSA MOT carried out on 5 June 2025 returned a full pass with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that at the time of testing the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards. With only a single MOT entry available, there is no evidence of a deteriorating trend; the absence of failures suggests that the car has been maintained to a level sufficient to satisfy the inspection requirements up to that date. At four years old the Volvo XC40 has accumulated 54,616 miles, equating to roughly 13,600 miles per annum. This usage rate is above the average for a compact SUV of its age and points to a relatively high level of component wear. The mileage pattern implies that the power‑train, suspension and braking elements have been subjected to considerable operating cycles, and consumables such as brake pads, discs, clutch (if a manual) and tyre tread will be correspondingly closer to the end of their service lives than on a lower‑mileage example. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the condition of the tyres, inspecting tread depth, uniformity of wear and the integrity of the sidewalls for cracking or dry‑rot, as ageing rubber can deteriorate even on relatively low‑kilometre tyres. Examine the suspension for any play in the front and rear ball joints, control arm bushes and coil springs, listening for clunks or creaks over bumps, which can signal worn bushings or fatigue in the spring mounts. The braking system warrants a thorough check: assess pad thickness, disc surface for glazing or rust‑pitting, and ensure the calipers move freely without binding, as high mileage can lead to uneven pad wear and corrosion of the caliper pistons. Given the vehicle’s hybrid power‑train, verify that the high‑voltage battery has been serviced according to Volvo’s schedule and that the 12 V auxiliary battery shows healthy cranking voltage and no signs of sulfation. Confirm that the coolant, brake fluid and windshield‑washer fluid have been replaced at the recommended intervals, as time‑based degradation can occur irrespective of mileage. Finally, request a full service history, looking for regular oil changes, filter replacements and any documented corrective actions on the electronic stability control or emissions systems, to ensure that the car’s mechanical and electronic components have been kept within the manufacturer’s prescribed maintenance windows.
