2023 Volvo C40 Ultimate Recharge EV Electric · CK23 OPW

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 19 March 2026 at 51,434 miles. This test passed with zero defects recorded, indicating a stable state where all primary safety components currently meet DVSA standards. The absence of any advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard since its registration. The mileage data reflects high-intensity usage, with 51,434 miles covered in approximately three years. This averages out to over 17,000 miles per year, which is significantly above the national average for electric vehicles and suggests consistent long-distance driving or heavy fleet-related use. While the MOT record shows no mechanical failures, the high rate of accumulation places accelerated stress on wear items and suspension components compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most affected by high mileage in an electric drivetrain. Pay close attention to the front suspension bushings, control arms, and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue or perished rubber. Because EVs like this Volvo often utilize regenerative braking, the brake discs may suffer from surface corrosion or pitting if not used frequently, despite the high mileage. Check the tyre depth and uneven wear patterns, as the high torque and weight of the battery can accelerate tread degradation.
