2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge Twin EV AWD Electric · KN71 EDJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on September 19, 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only failure recorded in the history relates specifically to a consumable item. While the car failed the most recent test due to a nearside front tyre cut reaching the cords, the immediate re-test resulted in a pass, indicating that the owner is responsive to safety-critical defects once they are identified. At 32,654 miles over five years, the XC40 averages approximately 6,500 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a family-oriented electric vehicle. The interval between the October 2024 test at 21,117 miles and the September 2025 test shows an accumulation of 11,537 miles in eleven months. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which is generally better for suspension components, brake seals, and battery health compared to stagnant-mileage examples. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of all four tyres to ensure the replacement nearside tyre has maintained uniform tread depth across the axle. Since the previous failure involved sidewall damage, checking for further bulges or cuts on the remaining tyres is prudent. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or mechanical failure, but the buyer should still verify for fluid leaks from the cooling system or wear on the suspension bushes, as these are not captured by the standard MOT inspection until they become significant defects.
