Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness based on a remarkably clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 34,386 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has consistently met all DVSA safety and environmental standards without any mechanical or structural failures during the recorded periods. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical five-year-old electric vehicle, averaging approximately 6,877 miles per annum. Between the October 2024 test at 26,389 miles and the November 2025 test at 34,386 miles, the car covered 7,997 miles. This suggests regular but moderate usage, which generally places less stress on heavy-duty components, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to high-mileage counterparts. Since the MOT record shows no recurring faults or pre-emptive advisories, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear rather than mechanical failure. A buyer should verify the condition of the tyres and the depth of the brake pads, as regenerative braking can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on calipers not used frequently. Checking the rubber components in the suspension arms and ensuring no fluid leaks exist remain standard professional steps to confirm the vehicle matches the pristine condition suggested by the digital record.

Our Verdict

This is a strong candidate for an electric SUV buyer, provided the battery health is verified. The recent MOT history shows no recorded defects, which is a positive indicator for its current roadworthiness.

When purchasing this specific XC40, your primary focus should be on the electric powertrain and battery health rather than traditional mechanical components. Ask the seller for a battery health report or 'State of Health' (SoH) reading to ensure the capacity remains within expected parameters for a 2021 model.

Since the MOT history shows no defects at 26,389 and 34,386 miles, you should verify if there is a documented service history for software updates and cooling system checks, which are vital for high-performance twin-motor EVs. Check the condition of the tyres, as the instant torque from the AWD system can lead to faster tread wear on electric SUVs.

As a fully electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by electricity prices and insurance. The XC40 Recharge is a high-performance model, so it may sit in a higher insurance group than standard petrol or diesel equivalents.

Maintenance costs are generally lower than internal combustion engine vehicles due to fewer moving parts, though you must still budget for tyres, cabin filters, and brake fluid changes. Expect your annual costs to be heavily influenced by your home charging setup versus public rapid charging.

Focus your inspection on the electrical systems and the integrity of the charging ports. While the MOT history for this vehicle (CK71AAZ) shows no defects in the last two tests, you should manually check the charging cables and the condition of the underside to ensure no damage has occurred to the battery casing.

Given the AWD configuration, listen for any unusual noises from the dual motors during a test drive. Although no MOT failures were recorded, inspect the suspension components and bushings, as the weight of EV batteries can put additional stress on these parts over time.

This 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge Twin EV AWD in Silver has covered 34,386 miles since its first registration in September 2021. The vehicle has two recorded MOT tests, both of which resulted in passes with no defects noted in 2024 or 2025. Given its relatively young age and the lack of recorded failures, it represents a modern EV option with a consistent inspection record.

There is currently no aggregate MOT data available to establish a long-term reliability trend for the XC40 Recharge Twin EV AWD.
