2015 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · FM65 KYR

The Volvo V40 presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 7 April 2026 at 106,564 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual test from 9 January 2023 through to the 2026 renewal returning a pass and no advisories logged. A failed entry on the same date as the final pass, 7 April 2026 at 106,564 miles, shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eleven-year-old car, averaging roughly 9,688 miles per year against the 106,564 miles recorded. The odometer moved from 95,609 miles at the January 2023 test to 99,485 miles by March 2024, then 102,717 miles in February 2025 and 106,564 miles in April 2026. Gaps between tests run from ten to fourteen months, with no sudden jumps in recorded distance that would point to heavy commercial use or neglected drivetrain strain. The clean MOT sequence gives no flagged corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission breaches across the period. That said, a buyer should still confirm in person that the structural underbody, coil springs, and binding calipers remain free of latent issues the annual test may not have captured at the recorded mileages. The twin April 2026 entries at identical mileage warrant a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm the pass is the live result. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to a standard that cleared each roadworthiness examination without advisory notes. With no recurring consumable or mechanical defects in the record, the principal risk lies in age-related degradation not yet surfaced by the MOT, not in documented poor upkeep.
