2018 Volvo XC40 2.0L Petrol · GF18 YCB

Most recent MOT (15 Aug 2025) was a pass at 69,718 mi, but the inspector noted the near‑side rear brake disc is worn, pitted or scored, though not seriously weakened. This is the only defect recorded for the latest test. The same rear‑side brake area caused a failure a year earlier (9 Aug 2024) when the brake pads were below the 1.5 mm minimum and the disc was both worn and lipped. The tyre on the same wheel was also flagged as close to the legal limit. The 2024 failure was remedied enough to pass in 2025, but the disc wear remains. Overall the MOT record is clean apart from the recurring rear‑brake and tyre concerns. The pattern suggests the rear braking system is the weak point; the condition has not dramatically worsened since the 2024 failure, but the wear is still present and will need attention soon. At eight years old and 69,718 mi the mileage averages about 8,700 mi per year – typical for a vehicle of this age. It does not point to excessive hard use, but also does not guarantee long periods of inactivity. Wear on consumables such as brakes, tyres, suspension and drivetrain is therefore expected at this mileage.
