2015 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · LB64 AFA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 30 June 2025 at 92,006 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently met standards without recorded defects, though the history shows recurring failures immediately preceding the passes in both 2024 and 2025. These failures without recorded defect codes suggest that minor issues are being rectified just before the test rather than indicating a pattern of escalating mechanical neglect. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,364 miles per year. Between the June 2023 test at 80,152 miles and the June 2024 test at 86,244 miles, the car covered 6,092 miles, while an additional 5,862 miles were recorded in the following year. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber-based components and brake seals that can suffer from long periods of standing. While the record shows no history of advisories for structural corrosion or mechanical wear, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension components and braking system. Given the age and mileage, the rubber bushes and coil springs are prone to degradation that does not always trigger an MOT failure until it becomes significant. Check for any binding calipers or uneven wear on the brake discs to ensure the previous failures were not related to basic consumable items that have since been replaced.
