2014 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · OV14 AEL

This Volvo V40 presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 11 November 2025 at 86,055 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and remains in good mechanical health. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Between 11 November 2022 and 11 November 2025, the odometer rose from 68,994 to 86,055 miles, averaging roughly 5,687 miles per year over that period. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing history that would suggest periods of neglect or undisclosed heavy usage. The record is remarkably clean, with no mentions of corrosion, suspension wear, or brake deterioration over the last four years. A failure on 11 November 2022 was resolved on the same day, though the record lacks specific detail on the fault. The absence of recurring advisories regarding brake discs, tyre tread, or exhaust emissions suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owner. A physical inspection should focus on common age-related wear that MOT tests sometimes overlook. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the chassis for surface rust, as these are typical weak points for this model. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes and timing belt intervals align with the low-defect MOT record.
