2015 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · KN64 AEJ

The Volvo V40 presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, with the November 2025 examination at 136,294 miles returning a pass and no defects logged. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available record, with every completed test from January 2023 through to late 2025 passing cleanly and no advisories or mechanical faults ever raised by testers. One anomaly sits in the data: a failed test on 28 November 2025 at 136,274 miles recorded no defects, immediately followed the same day by a pass at 136,294 miles, which points to an administrative or documentation error at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical concern. Mileage sat at 98,764 in January 2023 and climbed to 107,311 by January 2024, then 112,738 in September 2024, before jumping to 136,294 by November 2025. That final twelve-month period added over 23,500 miles, well above the circa 12,390 annual average for the vehicle's life and signalling heavier recent use. The 2015 car has covered 136,294 miles in roughly eleven years, which is high for its age, though the early-year increments suggest steadier, moderate driving before the late surge. The DVSA history shows no flagged wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the front suspension arms and rear trailing bushes given the high and recently accelerated mileage, and verify the condition of brake friction materials and discs that consumable records would not capture. The same-day fail-with-no-defects entry warrants a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the test certificate is valid and untainted by the recording irregularity.
