2018 Volvo V40 1.5L Petrol · LA18 UVU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a successful test on June 6 2025 at 48,760 miles. This pass followed an immediate retest after a failure just one day prior due to a split nearside front outer drive shaft constant velocity boot. The fact that the defect was rectified immediately to secure a pass suggests the owner is responsive to safety-critical failures rather than allowing mechanical issues to persist. At 48,760 miles over eight years, the car has averaged approximately 6,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-mid range usage patterns. The mileage accumulation shows consistent intervals, with a 3,000-mile gap between May 2023 and May 2024, and another 3,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. This relatively low annual mileage indicates that the drivetrain and suspension components have not undergone significant mechanical stress compared to high-mileage counterparts. A buyer should pay close attention to rubber components and tyres during a physical inspection. The May 2023 test at 38,805 miles flagged the offside rear tyre for perishing and uneven wear, suggesting that the vehicle may sit for long periods or suffer from alignment issues over time. Given the recent CV boot failure, a visual check of all drive shaft boots for signs of grease leakage or cracking is necessary to ensure the repair was thorough. There is no historical evidence of recurring structural corrosion or brake system issues in the record, pointing toward a well-maintained chassis.
