2017 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · KP67 AEJ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test in October 2025 with 31,915 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears currently stable following a period of recurring tyre-related issues that have since been resolved. While the history shows failures related to consumable components, the absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests the current owner has addressed previous concerns to meet minimum standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the records, with only 4,014 miles covered between the October 2024 and October 2025. Such low mileage typically implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts, which is reflected in the historical reports of perishing and cracking on the tyres. A buyer should specifically inspect the wheel alignment and suspension geometry given that the 2024 failure at 27,901 miles flagged a nearside front tyre worn uneven on the inner wall. This often indicates incorrect tracking settings or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, the 2022 failure for mismatched tyre sizes on the same axle suggests a previous lack of attention to detail regarding basic maintenance. Because the car sits for long periods, a physical check of the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers is necessary, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from brake rust despite low mechanical wear.
