2022 Volvo XC40 Start T2 1.5L Petrol · DX72 JTO

The most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-09-27 at 35,287 miles, resulted in a pass but noted several wear-related issues. Rear brake pads were described as "wearing thin," while both front and rear brake discs showed "worn, but not excessively" condition. Tyre checks revealed a nearside rear tyre with "slightly damaged/cracking or perishing" and an offside front tyre "worn close to legal limit/worn on edge 2mm." These findings indicate routine maintenance needs rather than critical safety failures. The vehicle’s mileage of 35,287 miles over four years equates to approximately 8,822 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for its age. This suggests no extreme wear from high-mileage use, but also no evidence of prolonged under-use. The absence of prior MOT records makes it difficult to assess whether the current issues represent a worsening trend or isolated occurrences. The primary risks involve brake components and tyres, which require monitoring for further degradation. Brake pads nearing the end of their lifespan could lead to reduced stopping power if not replaced, while the damaged tyre and worn edge on the front tyre pose immediate safety concerns. The brake discs, though worn, are not classified as unsafe, but their condition should be verified during a physical inspection. No recurring mechanical patterns are evident from the single MOT entry.
