2016 Volvo V40 1.5L Petrol · LR66 ABN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-10-16 at 74,416 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. However, the same date shows a failed test with no recorded issues, indicating a possible data inconsistency. Earlier tests from 2024-10-17 (64,881 miles) and 2023-10-16 (55,254 miles) were both passed with no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as no critical failures or recurring issues were flagged in the recorded tests. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards, though the recent conflicting MOT entries require clarification. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,442 miles annually. The 2024-10-17 test at 64,881 miles and 2023-10-16 test at 55,254 miles show consistent annual increases of approximately 9,627 miles. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, suggesting regular use without prolonged inactivity. The lack of defects in all recorded tests implies the vehicle has not experienced major mechanical or structural degradation, though the recent MOT anomalies warrant further scrutiny. A buyer should verify the car’s current MOT status, as the last valid test was over nine months ago. Inspections should focus on suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time, and brake systems, including calipers and discs, to confirm no hidden wear. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the MOT history is reassuring, but a pre-purchase inspection is essential to validate the vehicle’s condition and address the unclear recent test records.
