2013 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · CU13 VDT

The 2013 Volvo V40 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 12 February 2026 at 124,001 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly on 21 February 2025 at 112,333 miles and again on 6 March 2024 at 99,130 miles. The record shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the observed period, indicating the car has been presented in testable condition without outstanding wear items flagged by DVSA examiners. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, with the record tracing 98,794 miles on 22 February 2024, rising to 99,130 miles four days later, then 112,333 miles by February 2025, and 124,001 miles by February 2026. This equates to roughly 9,500 miles per year and reflects steady private or light-use motoring rather than high-stress fleet operation. The two failed tests in February 2024 and February 2025 show identical mileages to the subsequent passes logged one to four days later, with no defects recorded on either failure; such paired entries typically point to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than latent mechanical faults. Given the absence of recorded advisories on tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the MOT history alone gives no evidence of worsening consumable wear or structural risk. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the coil springs, binding calipers, and underbody for corrosion, as a clean MOT does not certify component life beyond the test date. The previous owner appears to have maintained basic statutory compliance, though the twin fail-pass entries suggest the car may have been taken to a test centre with poor record-keeping discipline rather than a deliberate defect-correction cycle.
