Our database tracks 5 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution regarding immediate
Before completing a purchase, negotiate the price to account for the immediate cost of replacing all four tyres, as the 2026 MOT recorded wear on both nearside and offside rear tyres. You should also check the current depth of the front brake pads, given the advisory for thin pads recorded in 2024.
Request documentation of any recent servicing to complement the MOT records. While the 2023 and 2022 tests showed no defects, the increasing frequency of tyre and brake advisories suggests a need for closer inspection of the suspension and braking components to ensure they are performing as expected.
The 2.0L petrol engine places this V40 in a moderate insurance group and tax band typical for its class. Fuel economy will depend on driving style, but as a petrol model, it avoids the complexities of diesel particulate filter maintenance.
Typical maintenance costs for this model include regular servicing and the replacement of consumables like tyres and brake pads, which have appeared in the recent MOT history. An estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,200-£1,500, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Focus your inspection on the tyres; the most recent MOT (September 2026) noted that both rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. This edge wear can sometimes indicate alignment issues or suspension wear.
Additionally, inspect the braking system. Following the 2024 advisory regarding thin front brake pads, verify the remaining life of the pads and discs. Finally, check the headlights, as headlamps are noted as a top failure reason for this model across the aggregate data of 104,142 vehicles.
This 2017 red Volvo V40 with the 1969cc petrol engine has covered 55,763 miles over its nine-year lifespan. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear-related advisories, specifically concerning tyres and brake pads, rather than major mechanical failures. The vehicle's mileage is slightly above the model average of 7,998 miles per year.
Aggregate data from over 100,000 Volvo V40s shows an 80.7% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being tyres, coil springs, and headlamps.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: VOLVO V40
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- EGR valve and cooler clogging(Moderate)
VEA diesels build soot in the EGR system and begin to hesitate, warn or fail emissions tests if the car mostly does short trips.
- Air conditioning compressor failure(Moderate)
Compressors can seize or stop cooling properly, and in the worst cases the auxiliary belt can be affected too.
- Snapped rear coil springs(Moderate)
The V40 is known for snapping its rear coil springs, often discovered during MOT tests or as a metallic clinking sound over bumps.
- Water ingress around windscreen and scuttle(Moderate)
Poor sealing can let water into the passenger footwell and eventually upset electrical modules or create persistent misting.
