2013 Volvo V40 1.6L Petrol · JB08 FUN

The 2025-08-19 MOT at 118,268 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has been stable since the previous test. The absence of any advisory notes in the latest test suggests that previous issues have been addressed. The recorded mileage of 118,268 miles over 13 years averages 9,098 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2013 model. Annual increments show a rise from 104,788 miles in August 2023 to 111,712 miles in August 2024, a gain of 6,924 miles, and another 6,556 miles to the 2025 test, indicating consistent but slightly above‑average yearly accumulation. Recurring faults such as near‑side front tyre wear close to the legal limit in 2018, front brake pad thinning, and earlier washer and lamp failures point to a need for close inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and calipers, as well as verification of the washer fluid system and lighting circuits. No structural rust advisories appear in the record, but the early tyre wear and brake issues imply that the suspension and braking components should be examined for binding calipers, worn bushes, or corroded metal. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical check of the suspension geometry, brake disc condition, tyre tread depth, and the integrity of the front and rear registration plates, while also confirming that the washer pump delivers adequate fluid and that all lamps function correctly.
