2016 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · KS16 AEE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 13 June 2025 with 127,541 miles. While the record shows immediate failures on the same dates in both 2023 and 2025, the owner successfully rectified the issues to achieve passes. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three successful tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components are currently meeting the minimum legal standards without showing signs of progressive deterioration. The mileage data reveals a significant discrepancy in usage patterns. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the vehicle covered 48,378 miles, which is an exceptionally high annual figure for a hatchback. However, the mileage recorded in June 2023 at 162,390 miles is notably higher than the 2025 reading of 127,541 miles, indicating either a data entry error in the DVSA database or an odometer rollback. Assuming the current reading of 127,541 miles is accurate, the vehicle reflects high-mileage use that places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension assembly. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as high mileage often leads to accelerated wear on these rubber and metal components. Given the previous failures followed by immediate passes, a close look at the braking system for signs of binding calipers or uneven thinning of the discs is essential. The chassis should also be examined for corrosion, particularly around structural mounting points, as high-mileage vehicles frequently face more exposure to road salt and elements over a decade.
