2018 Volvo XC40 2.0L Diesel · DP67 NGZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 at 61,824 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a reactive approach to consumable wear. While the car failed a test just one day prior at 61,766 miles due to an offside rear tyre with tread depth below the legal limit and a nearside rear tyre showing edge wear, the owner addressed these immediate issues promptly to secure a pass. At approximately eight years old, the 2018 XC40 has averaged roughly 7,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 8,200 miles driven between the December 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 8,600 miles recorded between December 2024 and November 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity that often lead to seal degradation or seized components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the record shows a history of pitting and scoring on multiple discs. The tester flagged worn and lipped nearside and offside front discs at 53,194 miles, following a nearside rear disc issue noted at 37,552 miles. This recurring pattern suggests the brakes may be prone to corrosion or that the calipers are not releasing perfectly, necessitating a check of the current pad thickness and surface condition for any uneven wear. Additionally, the tyre edge wear noted in the November 2025 failure warrants a alignment check to ensure the suspension geometry is not causing premature rubber degradation.
