2018 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · FJ68 KPV

The 2018 Volvo V40 presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 91,188 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied record is stable, showing no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A failed entry logged on the same date with no defects recorded points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a fault with the car itself, and the passing certificate issued that day confirms the vehicle met the required standard. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old car, averaging roughly 11,398 miles per year against the 91,188 miles recorded. The DVSA data shows 60,202 miles on 31 October 2022, rising to 74,626 miles on 1 November 2023, 85,100 miles on 7 November 2024, and 91,188 miles on 22 October 2025. The yearly increments of 14,000, 10,500, and 6,000 miles indicate a gradual reduction in use, with no abrupt accumulation or standing gaps that would raise concern over drivetrain or suspension fatigue. The absence of any recorded advisories across all five tests suggests previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within limits. No corrosion, worn suspension bushes, binding calipers, or exhaust emission failures appear in the history. That said, a clean MOT sheet is not a substitute for a physical inspection, and a buyer should still verify underside structural integrity, brake disc condition, and tyre sidewall ageing given the car is now eight years old. Given the sparse but unbroken pass record, the V40 shows no evidence of deferred upkeep or recurring mechanical trends. A pre-purchase check should focus on standard age-related wear not captured by MOT, notably coolant hoses, cambelt interval if applicable, and electronic function of the Volvo drivetrain systems.
