2016 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · FN16 RWV

The 2016 Volvo V40 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 February 2026 at 62,821 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage has stayed close to typical for a ten-year-old car. The tester logged 31,024 miles in February 2022, 37,853 in February 2023, 45,897 in February 2024, 57,315 in January 2025, and 62,821 in February 2026. That equates to roughly 6,000 to 12,000 miles per year with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The record carries no advisories, failures, or flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues across the full history. Given the absence of recorded faults, the previous keeper clearly kept the car to a standard that satisfied DVSA criteria each year. A clean sheet across five tests implies basic upkeep was not skipped and no recurring mechanical or structural risks emerged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless record. Low annual use can mask perished rubber components, seized calipers, or early subframe corrosion not visible during a winter test. Verify tyre sidewall condition, brake binding, and underbody structural integrity before purchase.
