2016 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · LE16 CCK

The vehicle presently meets the statutory roadworthiness criteria, having passed the 13 April 2026 MOT at 81,795 miles with no recorded defects. Recent failures have been limited to tyre tread depth and a fractured front coil spring, both resolved before the latest test, indicating a generally stable maintenance pattern rather than a deteriorating one. Mileage has risen from 18,885 miles in June 2019 to 81,795 miles in April 2026, averaging roughly 8,200 miles per year. The increments between successive tests – 3,356 miles (2019‑2020), 8,145 miles (2020‑2021), 9,585 miles (2021‑2022), 11,278 miles (2022‑2023), 10,206 miles (2023‑2024), 10,233 miles (2024‑2025) and 10,107 miles (2025‑2026) – show a consistent usage profile with no prolonged idle periods, suggesting the vehicle has been driven regularly throughout its life. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the near‑side front tyre, confirming tread depth exceeds the 1.6 mm minimum, and inspect the front suspension for any lingering signs of coil‑spring fatigue or cracked bushings. Examination of the brake system is advisable; although the 2023 advisory noted thin inner pads and slight disc wear, the absence of subsequent failures implies the pads were likely replaced, yet pads and discs should be measured for remaining thickness. Visual checks for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and chassis joints, will confirm that no structural issues have emerged beyond the recorded advisories.
