2015 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · KN64 ABZ

The 2015 Volvo V40 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 25 February 2026 at 82,774 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The February 2026 pass came just sixteen days after a failure on 9 February 2026 at 82,761 miles, though the DVSA entry records no defects against either test. A similar pattern occurred on 31 October 2024, when the car failed and then passed on the same day at 68,747 miles with no defects logged. These paired fail-pass entries suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, and the August 2023 pass at 59,558 miles with no advisories supports a clean underlying condition. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,525 miles per year against the 82,774 miles recorded. The gap between the August 2023 test at 59,558 miles and the October 2024 test at 68,747 miles shows about 9,189 miles covered in fourteen months, a reasonable rate. From October 2024 to February 2026 the car added 14,027 miles over sixteen months, again consistent with normal use. The record is sparse but clean, with no advisories or consumable wear flags such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes ever noted across the five entries. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the sills and subframes, as the MOT history shows no examiner commentary on these areas rather than confirmed absence of rust. The repeated same-day fail-pass cycles on 31 October 2024 and 9 to 25 February 2026 warrant a check of the VOSA failure reasons through the DVSA portal, since the blank defect fields may obscure rejected items such as exhaust emissions or binding calipers caught on first presentation. Given the clean run since 2023, focus the physical check on coil springs, steering joints, and brake hose condition, which are eleven-year wear items not yet flagged but outside the scope of the recorded tests.
