2004 Volvo S40 2.5L Petrol · OV04 PXH

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently fail , based on the most recent test recorded on 2025-11-04 at 83,635 miles, which was passed, but the 2025-11-03 test failed at 83,630 miles. The record shows a clear deterioration in performance, with the most recent failure occurring on the 2025-11-03 date, indicating that the vehicle has not maintained its safety rating since that date. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 3,802 miles per year, which is consistent with a 22-year-old car. While the initial test at 83,635 miles passed, the rapid drop to 83,630 miles on the 3rd day of the month suggests that the vehicle experienced a significant period of inactivity or reduced usage between the 1st and 3rd of November 2025. This gap in data is notable, as it implies that the car may have been sitting unused for a considerable time, which would have allowed wear on consumables and components to accumulate. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to identify recurring faults and structural risks, specifically focusing on the brake discs and suspension bushings. The 2025-11-03 failure highlighted offside front inner tyres with exposed ply or cords, nearside front inner tyres worn close to legal limits, and a severely deteriorated constant velocity boot on the drive shaft. These components are critical for safety and indicate that the vehicle has not undergone adequate maintenance, particularly regarding the braking system and suspension, which are the primary areas where wear is most likely to occur over time.
