2021 Volvo XC40 R-Design B4 Mhev Auto 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · LC71 RHF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the September 2025 MOT at 44,597 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend is stable; the October 2024 test noted only tyre advisories (nearside front worn to the legal limit at 3 mm, offside front cut) and no failures, indicating that the previous owners addressed those items or accepted them as minor wear. No new faults have emerged in the most recent test, confirming that the car’s mechanical condition has not deteriorated. Mileage accumulation shows a typical pattern for a five‑year‑old Volvo: 44,597 miles over roughly 2021‑2026 equates to about 8,919 miles per year, which aligns with normal usage. The interval between the October 2024 test (36,080 miles) and the September 2025 test (44,597 miles) spans eleven months, during which the mileage rose by 8,517 miles. This rate is slightly above the annual average but remains within a realistic daily driving range, and there are no unexplained gaps in the MOT record. A prospective buyer should inspect the front tyre condition closely, checking the nearside for edge wear consistent with reaching the legal limit and the offside for the shallow cut that could compromise structural integrity of the tread. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for signs of uneven wear, as the tyre wear pattern may reflect alignment or mounting issues. Brake discs and calipers need a visual check for corrosion or binding, especially given the mileage increase, and the exhaust system should be inspected for rust or leaks. Finally, a thorough under‑body scan for corrosion is advisable, as the vehicle’s age and mileage can expose hidden structural weakness that may not have been flagged in the MOT advisories.
