2013 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · CV63 CPZ

The 2013 Volvo V40 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 February 2026 at 105,112 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in March 2025 at 98,706 miles, February 2024 at 89,145 miles, and February 2023 at 78,132 miles all passed cleanly. The duplicate 22 February 2023 entry shows a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects listed, indicating an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old car. The record shows roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles added each year between 2023 and 2026, averaging close to the 8,086 annual figure. No sudden jumps or dormant gaps appear across the four-year span. The clean advisory columns throughout suggest the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test rather than letting tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes degrade to flagged condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age. Volvo V40 chassis legs and subframe mounts are prone to moisture trapping. The MOT history offers no advisories on exhaust emissions, coil springs, or binding calipers, but testers only record visible defects at the time. Check the front suspension arms and rear trailing bushes for play, and verify brake disc thickness against the recorded 105,112-mile wear. The absence of recurring faults points to consistent upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Failing twice on the same date with no defects implies a DVSA system error, not owner neglect. Treat the car as mechanically sound on paper, subject to a routine pre-purchase check of wear items not captured by the pass results.
