2015 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · NJ15 AEC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 January 2026 with 113,585 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record indicates a pattern of immediate rectification following test failures. The failure on 26 January 2026 occurred just 16 miles prior to the pass, suggesting a minor component or adjustment, such as a blown bulb or a minor leak, was quickly addressed by the owner before the re-test. At 113,585 miles over an 11-year period, the Volvo V40 averages approximately 10,326 miles per year. This represents a consistent usage pattern for a family vehicle of this age, suggesting neither extreme motorway mileage nor long periods of neglect due to standing-related rot. The interval between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests shows an accumulation of 5,138 miles, while the period between 2024 and 2025 saw a more typical run of 6,623 miles. While the history is clean of recurring structural advisories or serious mechanical failures, the buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension components and braking system. Given the mileage and age, rubber bushes and coil springs should be checked for wear, as these often perish at this stage. The buyer should also look for any binding calipers or thinning of the brake discs, as the record does not explicitly flag these items despite the high mileage.
