2014 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · EU64 ASZ

The September 2025 MOT at 92,445 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester noted a near‑side rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and wear on the near‑side front suspension arm pin or bush, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy but shows recurring wear rather than clear improvement or decline. Mileage has risen steadily from 43,314 miles in May 2020 to 92,445 miles in September 2025, averaging roughly 7,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 12‑year‑old Volvo; however, the jump from 52,416 miles in May 2021 to 76,120 miles in November 2022 represents an acceleration of about 23,700 miles in 1.5 years, suggesting a period of more intensive driving. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension components flagged in 2025 – the rear arm pin and bush wear – and verify the condition of the off‑side front coil spring, which fractured in 2022, as well as the brake system, where low pad wear has been recorded repeatedly; inspection of tyre tread, sidewalls for cuts, and the underside for structural rust or previous repairs hidden by the engine and under‑car covers noted in 2017 and 2018 is also advisable. While the latest test confirms roadworthiness, the pattern of recurring mechanical advisories means a thorough independent inspection is prudent before finalising any purchase.
