Our Verdict

This is a solid buying prospect thanks to a clean MOT pass record and modest mileage for a 2021 vehicle. Budget for front tyres and rear brakes soon, as the MOT history shows these items wearing close to limits.

When viewing this XC40, ask for the full service history to confirm it has been maintained to Volvo's schedule, as no aggregate reliability data is available for the model to fall back on. The MOT records show rear brake pads wearing thin at both the 2025 and 2026 tests and rear discs noted as worn in 2025, so use this to negotiate on price or request replacement before collection. The 2025 MOT also flagged both front tyres at the legal limit on their inner edges, so check whether these have since been replaced or factor in a fresh pair of tyres.

As a 1,477cc petrol Euro 6 AP vehicle first registered in 2021, this XC40 should sit in a moderate VED band and a typical small-family-SUV insurance group, though exact figures are not in the provided data. Real-world fuel economy for this engine size is reasonable for a compact SUV, and routine maintenance such as the brake and tyre items noted in the MOT history will be the main upkeep costs. Based on the wear patterns seen, we estimate typical annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance at around £1,000-£1,300.

The MOT history shows rear brake pads wearing thin at the 2025 (20,867 miles) and 2026 (28,929 miles) tests, with rear discs worn but not excessively in 2025, so physically check pad thickness and disc condition before buying. Both front tyres were noted in January 2025 as worn to the 1.6mm legal limit on the inner edges despite adequate central tread, so inspect all four tyres for uneven inner-edge wear and confirm replacement if still original. With only 8,925 miles on the 2024 MOT and no defects recorded, the early life looks clean, but a general check of suspension and underbody for a 5-year-old vehicle is still sensible.

The Volvo XC40 registered CF70ABN is a February 2021 black petrol model with a 1,477cc Euro 6 engine that has covered 28,929 miles as of its January 2026 MOT. Its MOT history shows three consecutive passes with no failures, though minor wear advisories were noted on tyres and brakes. With below-average mileage for its age and no recorded defects beyond consumables, it presents a low-risk used purchase.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Volvo XC40, so assessment relies solely on this vehicle's individual history.
