2020 Volvo XC40 1.5L Petrol · N90 RBY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the 7 March 2026 MOT at 61,187 miles. A failure recorded on 6 March 2026 flagged a split off‑side front outer drive‑shaft CV boot and a near‑side rear tyre cut, but those items were apparently remedied before the subsequent pass. The pattern shows a generally stable maintenance record with a single emerging issue rather than a chronic deterioration. At 61,187 miles the car averages roughly 10,200 miles per year since its 2020 launch, which sits within normal usage for a compact SUV. Mileage rose from 34,657 miles in February 2024 to 47,183 miles in February 2025, then to the current figure in March 2026, indicating steady annual accumulation without prolonged idle periods. No large unexplained gaps appear in the record. A prospective buyer should verify that the off‑side front CV boot has been correctly replaced and that the boot seals properly to prevent dirt ingress, as a recurring boot fault can precipitate joint failure. The near‑side rear tyre cut noted in both 2023 and 2026 tests should be inspected for any internal damage; replacement may be prudent if the ply is compromised. Brake discs were last recorded as slightly worn in February 2025; visual inspection of both front and rear discs for scoring or excessive thickness loss is advisable. Inspect the front wiper blades and headlamp aim, both flagged in the 2023 failures, to ensure clear visibility. Given the mileage, a review of suspension bushings, coil springs and any signs of chassis corrosion will help confirm that wear remains within acceptable limits.
