2021 Volvo XC40 R-Design B4 Mhev Auto 2.0L Hybrid electric · KM71 PHV

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 29 October 2025 at 22,055 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This represents a clean result following the previous test in November 2024, where a minor fault regarding a nail in the nearside rear tyre was subsequently rectified. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,411 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 17,829 miles and the 2025 test, the car covered 4,226 miles in just over a year. This consistent low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on high-stress components such as the drivetrain and suspension, though long periods of standing can occasionally lead to brake caliper seizing or flat-spotting if not driven regularly. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the absence of issues associated with low-mileage use. Inspect the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, as cars that are driven infrequently often develop uneven oxidation. The buyer should also check the rubber suspension bushes for cracking and ensure the tyres have not perished from age cracking, as tread depth alone does not guarantee rubber integrity.
