2018 Volvo V40 2.0L Petrol · DU18 AVV

The vehicle currently maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2026 at 38,810 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car is currently meeting all statutory safety requirements. This follows a period of clean passes in the preceding years, suggesting that the vehicle has been well-maintained without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,850 miles per year. Between May 2023 and April 2026, the car covered 18,100 miles, showing a consistent and low-usage pattern. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to flat-spotting or seized components if the vehicle stands stationary, though the record shows no evidence of sudden mileage accumulation or neglect. The only recorded defect in the history occurred during a failure in May 2024 at 27,459 miles, where the nearside rear inner brake pad was found to be below the legal limit. The fact that the vehicle passed the re-test just five miles later confirms the issue was addressed immediately by the owner. A buyer should still verify the current thickness of all brake pads and inspect the discs for signs of uneven wear or pitting, as low-use vehicles can sometimes develop surface corrosion on braking components. Given the lack of advisories in the recent records, the physical inspection should focus on rubber components and suspension bushes to ensure age has not caused perishation despite the low mileage. The overall data suggests a vehicle that has been treated with care and remains a mechanically sound purchase.
