2014 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · CV14 WWB

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-29 recorded both rear tyres close to the legal limit, indicating ongoing tyre wear concerns. The vehicle has consistently shown issues with tyres approaching minimum tread depth, particularly on the front and rear wheels, alongside recurring oil leaks that remain non-excessive but persistent. Brake components have also shown gradual wear, with front brake pads wearing thin in 2023 and rear brake discs showing minor wear in 2024. A pattern of tyre-related defects emerges, with multiple instances of tyres worn close to legal limits or showing edge wear. This suggests either regular use requiring frequent replacements or potential alignment/tyre balance issues. Oil leaks, while not severe, have appeared in three separate MOTs, raising questions about the integrity of seals or gaskets. Brake wear, particularly on front pads, indicates consistent usage but no immediate safety risk. The condition trend appears stable rather than worsening. No major defects have been recorded in recent MOTs, and issues like brake disc wear and tyre degradation have remained within acceptable limits. However, the repetition of similar faults over time highlights ongoing maintenance needs.
