2015 Volvo V40 2.0L Petrol · DV65 FFX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with no significant mechanical degradation evident in the recent MOT history. The most recent recorded test on 17 April 2023 at 87,650 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories noted. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests since 2021, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to meet minimum legal standards without recurring structural or safety failures. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical domestic use pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The record shows a steady increase from 65,448 miles in April 2021 to 77,682 miles in April 2022, and finally reaching 87,650 miles in April 2023. This average of approximately 7,968 miles per year indicates regular usage rather than long periods of stagnation or excessive high-speed motorway commuting. Because the MOT record shows no specific advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake corrosion, the documentation suggests a clean history. However, the presence of failed tests in 2022 and 2023 that resulted in immediate passes suggests the owner addressed minor non-compliance issues promptly. A physical inspection should focus on checking for any signs of minor oil leaks or wear on consumable items like wiper blades and tyres, which are not captured in these digital records. A buyer should pay particular attention to the underside of the chassis to check for surface corrosion, particularly given the vehicle's age. While the MOT history is clean, the transition from a failure to a pass in consecutive years implies the vehicle may have required minor remedial work to meet emissions or lighting requirements. Verifying the service history alongside these MOT results will confirm if the preventative maintenance matches the passing trend seen in the official records.
