2014 Volvo V40 1.6L Petrol · DF14 YMS

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently assessed as acceptable , though the MOT history suggests a worsening trend in the last two years. The most recent test on 2025-06-20 at 134,559 miles was passed without any defects, confirming the vehicle's current mechanical status. However, the failure on 2025-06-19 at 134,552 miles indicates that the car has not maintained its previous performance levels since that date, suggesting a potential acceleration in wear or neglect. The mileage pattern reveals a significant gap between the most recent test and the first failed inspection, with the vehicle accumulating approximately 11,000 miles of recorded service between the 2025-06-20 test and the 2025-06-19 failure. This gap is notable given the vehicle's age of roughly 12 years; while the initial mileage was low, the rapid increase in recorded miles since the last successful test indicates that the car may be approaching the end of its service life or that the owner has been neglecting routine servicing. Given the failure of the second MOT on 2025-06-19, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for binding brakes, worn suspension components, or structural rust before proceeding. The history of passing tests in 2024 and 2023 suggests that the car has undergone significant maintenance, but the lack of a passing test in 2025 implies that the vehicle may be in a state of disrepair or that the owner has not performed a comprehensive inspection of the suspension or braking systems since the most recent test.
