2014 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · CV64 TCZ

The 2014 Volvo V40 presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded at the most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 235,066 miles. The DVSA history shows no defects, advisories, or recurring faults across the available entries, indicating the vehicle has cleared each annual examination without mechanical or structural concerns raised by the tester. Mileage stands at 235,066 miles against a 12-year lifespan, equating to roughly 19,589 miles per year and placing this car well above typical use for its class. The record charts steady accumulation: 204,979 miles at the October 2022 test, 215,104 miles in November 2023, 229,369 miles in October 2024, and 235,066 miles in October 2025. A duplicate October 2022 entry shows a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects logged, pointing to an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical defect. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the timeline. Given the sparse and clean record, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of high-wear items consistent with 235,000 miles of use. Suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and calipers warrant physical checks for fatigue or binding not captured by a pass result. Structural integrity around sills and subframes should be examined for corrosion, as the MOT entries recorded no advisories that would flag early rust. The absence of advisories across four consecutive tests suggests previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance, though the high annual mileage means consumable components have cycled more often than a lower-mileage equivalent. Treat the clean history as a baseline, not a guarantee, and verify live condition of tyres, wipers, and exhaust emissions during any pre-purchase viewing.
