2022 Volvo XC40 1.5L Petrol · HV22 FMD

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by consecutive clean MOT results. The most recent test conducted on February 26 2026 at 31,120 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components have remained within manufacturer-specified tolerances without the emergence of recurring faults or progressive degradation between the inspection periods. The mileage pattern is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,780 miles per year. Between the March 2025 test at 24,787 miles and the February 2026 test, the car covered 6,333 miles in nearly eleven months. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use, which is often beneficial for vehicle components like rubber seals and braking systems that can suffer from corrosion or seizing when subjected to long periods of inactivity. Since the MOT record shows no history of structural corrosion, brake failures, or suspension issues, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear and service items. A buyer should verify the condition of the tyre tread and sidewalls for uneven wear, and check the brake pads for remaining thickness. Given the relatively low mileage for the age, the inspector should also confirm the fluid service history to ensure oil and filter changes have occurred according to time intervals rather than just mileage milestones.
