2017 Volvo V40 1.5L Petrol · M8 PVR

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection on 5 January 2026 at 104,709 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This streak indicates a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, suggesting that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical requirements and safety standards before they could trigger a failure during testing. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per annum. Between the January 2022 test at 54,206 miles and the January 2026 test at 104,709 miles, the car covered 50,503 miles. This steady usage reflects regular road miles rather than the degradation associated with long periods of standing or the accelerated wear of high-intensity commercial use. The lack of gaps in mileage suggests the vehicle has remained in active use and maintained under annual testing intervals. While the MOT record shows no structural or recurring mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to wear at this mileage bracket. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often show signs of fatigue after 100,000 miles. The braking system should also be checked for binding calipers or thinning discs, despite the recent MOT passes not having flagged these issues. Given the clean history, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, but a standard check of rubber components and fluid leaks remains necessary to confirm the long-term integrity of the drivetrain.
