2016 Volvo V40 2.0L Petrol · OV66 ACF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the MOT history, with the most recent test on 17 July 2026 showing a pass. While the vehicle has maintained a clean record for several years, the latest inspection introduced advisories regarding tyre wear. The tester flagged both the nearside front and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This indicates a shift from the previously defect-free inspections seen between 2019 and 2025. The mileage pattern confirms exceptionally low usage for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 2,395 miles per year. The record shows a steady, incremental increase in distance, moving from 12,964 miles in August 2019 to 23,954 miles in July 2026. This consistent, low-frequency driving pattern suggests the car has been used for short trips or has spent significant periods stationary. Such usage often avoids heavy drivetrain wear but can lead to specific issues related to lack of regular mechanical movement. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre condition and alignment, as the uneven wear on the front edges suggests potential tracking or suspension geometry issues. Because the car has covered such low mileage over ten years, it is prudent to inspect rubber components such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and various seals for signs of perishing or cracking due to age rather than wear. While the MOT history shows no recorded issues with brakes, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, the low mileage means these components may have been subject to surface corrosion from sitting idle.
