2014 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · CH56 MAR

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 24 February 2026 at 112,347 miles where no defects were recorded. This reflects a consistent standard of maintenance following a single failure in early 2024. The transition from a failure to two consecutive clean passes in subsequent tests suggests that the previous owner addressed any identified mechanical or safety issues promptly to maintain legal compliance. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Data shows a steady accumulation of miles, with roughly 6,700 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 6,700 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. This regularity indicates the car has been used consistently rather than left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of seals, rubber components, and battery health. While the recent records are clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension components and braking system given the vehicle has now surpassed the 110,000-mile mark. High-mileage Vol of this era often show wear on control arm bushes and coil springs which may not always manifest as MOT failures until they become significant. Check for signs of surface corrosion on the underbody and along the exhaust system, as the MOT only flags structural integrity issues once it reaches a specific threshold of degradation.
