2018 Volvo V40 1.5L Petrol · EU68 KWA

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clear trend toward improving roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 11 July 2025 at 73,862 miles returned a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful test in July 2024 at 62,726 miles which also showed no advisories. These consecutive clean results suggest that previous mechanical or consumable issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered 73,862 miles, averaging approximately 9,233 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, with 10,000 miles added between the July 2023 and July 2024 tests, and roughly 11,000 miles added between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests. There are no significant gaps in usage or periods of long-term inactivity visible in the recorded mileage increments. Historical records indicate a pattern of consumable wear rather than systemic mechanical failure. In the July 2023 test at 52,253 miles, the tester flagged several items including front and rear brake pads wearing thin at 2mm, worn front brake discs, and front tyres reaching the legal limit. Earlier entries in October 2022 and October 2021 noted tyre damage and under-inflation. These faults suggest the previous owner focused on reactive maintenance of tyres and braking components. A prospective buyer should verify that the braking system and tyres have been fully refreshed following the 2023 advisories. While the recent clean passes suggest these items were replaced, a physical inspection of the brake disc thickness and the remaining tread depth on all four tyres remains prudent. Given the history of tyre perishing and wear, checking the manufacture dates on the sidewalls would confirm if the current rubber is relatively fresh.
