2022 Volvo XC40 1.5L Petrol · P777 DGS

The Volvo XC40 presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 November 2025 at 72,963 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of annual passes since the vehicle was first tested in November 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, which indicates the car has not required corrective work to meet statutory standards at any point. Mileage accumulation sits high for a 2022 model. The record shows 42,907 miles at the 2021-11-03 test, rising to 53,834 by 2022-11-01, then 63,511 on 2023-10-23, 68,028 on 2024-11-04, and 72,963 on 2025-11-07. That averages roughly 18,200 miles per year. The step from 53,834 to 63,511 between late 2022 and October 2023 is the largest single-year gain at about 9,700 miles, while later years show the rate easing. No test gaps exist; the owner kept the annual cadence tight. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories means the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, binding calipers, or failing emissions at each examination. For a buyer, this suggests the previous keeper addressed consumable wear before each test rather than letting it flag. The high annual mileage still warrants a physical check of brake disc thickness, tyre tread depth across all four corners, and front suspension arm bushes, as these wear silently between tests and would not show on a pass certificate. Given the absence of recorded faults, the principal risk is unseen wear from the 73,000 miles covered rather than deferred repairs. Inspect the underbody for stone damage or early corrosion, confirm the service history matches the mileage steps, and verify the cambelt and fluid intervals suit the high-use profile. The MOT data alone gives no cause to doubt roadworthiness.
