2018 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · L1 GLD

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a string of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 15 August 2025 at 77,144 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have likely proactively addressed potential issues before they could trigger a failure, suggesting a vehicle that has remained in good mechanical condition. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per annum. Between the July 2021 test at 34,582 miles and the 2025 test at 77,144 miles, the car covered 42,562 miles, showing a steady usage pattern of roughly 10,600 miles annually. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from the detrimental effects of long-term stationary storage, nor has it faced the excessive wear associated with high-intensity commercial mileage. Because the MOT record shows no history of structural corrosion, brake failures, or suspension defects, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear-related items appropriate for the 77,000-mile mark. Check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these are often the first components to degrade at this age. Given the clean history, the buyer should simply verify the thickness of the brake pads and the state of the tyres to ensure the current condition matches the excellent documented record.
