2017 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · DS17 AAY

This Volvo V40 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its MOT tests. The most recent entry on 7 October 2025 at 83,290 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative correction rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a nine year old vehicle. The car covered 12,358 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, which is slightly higher than its overall average of 9,254 miles per year. A more modest increase of 9,632 miles occurred between October 2024 and October 2025. This steady progression indicates the vehicle has been in regular use and has not suffered from the degradation associated with long periods of standing. The absence of any advisories or failures across five years of testing is unusual for a vehicle of this age. No issues regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions have been flagged since October 2022. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common V40 wear points that MOT testers occasionally overlook. Focus on the condition of the brake pads and the depth of the tyre treads, as these consumables are not highlighted in the clean record. Checking for any signs of chassis corrosion or leaks from the engine bay will confirm if the mechanical condition matches the pristine DVSA history.
