2014 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · CV14 BBK

The Volvo V40 passed its most recent MOT on 5 June 2026 at 143,525 miles with both front tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edges, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy but shows a stable pattern of minor consumable wear rather than escalating mechanical failure. Prior tests in June 2025 at 133,449 miles and June 2024 at 128,261 miles returned passes with only light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber and edge tyre wear, indicating the upkeep has been consistent and free of structural or serious drivetrain defects across the last four years. Recorded mileage rose from 107,351 in June 2022 to 143,525 by June 2026, an average of roughly 9,000 miles per year against a 12-year life total of 143,525. That figure sits below the typical 11,960 annual expectation for this age bracket. The history shows no gaps exceeding twelve months between tests and no sudden accumulation spikes, so the odometer reflects steady private or light fleet use with no evidence of prolonged standing or harsh high-mileage cycles. The repeated edge tyre wear flagged at the last three tests, most recently on both fronts in June 2026, points to neglected tracking or suspension geometry rather than pure tread consumption. A buyer should physically check front alignment, inspect the offside rear shock for progressed oil leakage beyond the 2024 misting, and confirm the rear brake discs scored in June 2023 have since been replaced given their prior pitting. No corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or structural integrity failures appear in the record. The absence of such advisories across 107,000 to 143,000 miles suggests the previous owner addressed major items promptly, though on-site inspection of the undertray and sills remains prudent on any twelve-year-old Volvo.
