2022 Volvo XC40 Plus Recharge EV Electric · ND72 XRY

The Volvo XC40 Plus Recharge EV presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record. The sole entry, dated 6 November 2025 at 41,421 miles, resulted in a straightforward pass with zero defects. A single, fully clean test offers no evidence of recurring mechanical or structural faults, and the maintenance trend is effectively neutral, showing neither deterioration nor improvement over time. The vehicle appears to have been well-maintained through its first MOT cycle. The mileage accumulation is entirely consistent with typical use for a 2022-registered vehicle. At 41,421 miles recorded on the November 2025 test, the annualised rate sits at approximately 10,355 miles per year, which aligns closely with the UK average. There are no notable gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record to suggest long periods of disuse or exceptionally high-intensity driving. The data is sparse but clean, reflecting a single-owner or low-usage pattern with no anomalies. Despite the clean MOT outcome, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection, particularly of components that wear independently of the test's pass-or-fail criteria. The electric drivetrain and regenerative braking system reduce traditional brake wear, yet the physical braking system, including discs, pads, and calipers, still requires examination for corrosion or seizure from infrequent hydraulic use. Suspension components such as front lower arms, anti-roll bar links, and rear trailing arm bushes should be checked for early deterioration, as the XC40's relatively heavy battery pack places additional stress on these parts. Tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners deserve close attention, given the instant torque delivery typical of electric vehicles. The body structure and underbody should be inspected for any signs of corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, sills, and the battery enclosure perimeter. While the MOT record shows no structural advisories, the absence of earlier tests means there is no long-term baseline for comparison. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified EV specialist, including a battery health report and diagnostic scan, is strongly recommended before committing to the purchase.
