2020 Volvo XC40 Rdesign PRO B4 Mhev AWD A 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · KS70 OEE

A pattern of emerging consumable wear characterizes the roadworthiness history of this vehicle, following two years of defect-free inspections. While the test on 19 January 2026 resulted in a pass, it introduced several advisories regarding the condition of the front tyres and brake discs, marking a shift from the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024. The recorded mileage of 12,671 miles is notably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 2,112 miles per year. This usage profile indicates the vehicle has been used sparingly, which correlates with the specific advisory for perishing and cracking on the offside front tyre, a common occurrence when tyres remain in service for extended periods despite low tread wear. Attention must be paid to the front axle consumables during a physical inspection. The DVSA records specifically highlight cuts to the outer walls of both the offside and nearside front tyres, alongside evidence of perishing on the offside front. A prospective buyer should closely examine the tyre sidewalls for any further degradation or structural compromise that may have developed since the January inspection. The recorded wear on both front brake discs requires verification during a test drive. Listen for any abnormal grinding noises or feel for pedal judder under moderate braking, which can indicate uneven wear or surface scoring. Additionally, the defective front windscreen wiper blade noted in the latest test should be checked for effective clearing of the glass to ensure unobstructed visibility.
