2015 Volvo V40 2.0L Petrol · FV65 UAF

The 2025‑12‑11 MOT at 131,343 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness standard and the maintenance trend is stable, having shown no new faults since the 2024 test. Mileage has risen from 39,336 miles in December 2018 to 131,343 miles by December 2025, an average annual increase of about 13,100 miles, which aligns with the typical usage for a 11‑year‑old Volvo V40 and reflects consistent, yearly testing with no extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring brake issues—front and rear discs showing wear and pitting but not serious weakening, and thin brake pads noted in 2021, 2018 and 2019—while also examining the corroded rear coil spring and exhaust from the 2023 test, checking tyre tread depth that fell below the 1.6 mm limit in 2020 and 2021, and confirming that the child‑seat fittings do not impede adult belt inspection, as these items represent the primary mechanical and structural concerns evident in the record.
