2016 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · KH04 SRH

The Volvo V40 presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 27 May 2025 at 88,676 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with three consecutive annual passes and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The duplicate fail and pass entries logged on the same dates in 2024 and 2025 reflect administrative re-tests rather than genuine mechanical defects, as no faults were recorded on either occasion. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2016 vehicle, rising from 74,735 miles at the May 2023 test to 82,657 miles by May 2024 and 88,676 miles by May 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 miles per year, consistent with the expected average and indicating steady, moderate use rather than prolonged standing or high-stress driving. The recorded history is sparse and clean, offering no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs across the ten-year span. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of any documented advisory checks in the MOT record. The clean test sheets do not confirm component condition, only that nothing breached the pass threshold on the day. Verify underside corrosion protection and exhaust emissions integrity during a pre-purchase examination, as ten years of use can mask early structural fatigue not yet severe enough to trigger a failure. The owner clearly kept the vehicle to minimum legal standards; nothing in the data suggests deeper mechanical risk.
