2014 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · KT14 OXR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a maintenance trend showing recent improvement. The most recent inspection on October 31, 2024 at 92,135 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical and structural concerns have been addressed. This clean result contrasts with the 2023 test where a distorted nearside rear wheel and a loose undertray were noted. At 92,135 miles, the Volvo has averaged approximately 7,700 miles per year over its twelve, which aligns with typical UK averages for a car of this age. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between the November 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 10,400 miles before the October 2024 inspection. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used steadily, which prevents the degradation often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and wheel alignment history. The November 2021 test at 61,813 miles flagged both nearside front and rear tyres for wearing on the inner edges, which points to tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. While the later tests passed, the previous distorted wheel noted in 2023 suggests the vehicle may have suffered a significant impact. Verifying the current condition of the tyres and the undertray security is essential, as these were recurring points of attention in the 2021 and 2023 records.
