2021 Volvo XC40 1.5L Petrol · PF70 LXT

The 2026-01-24 MOT at 32,652 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has held steady since the 2025 test, which also passed despite noting slightly worn brake discs and a near‑side rear tyre approaching the legal limit. Mileage has risen from 23,706 miles in the 2024 test to 29,336 miles a year later, an increase of 5,630 miles, and then to 32,652 miles in the 2026 test, a further 3,316 miles, showing consistent annual usage without long idle periods. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, and inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads, which have shown thinning in earlier tests but were not flagged in the latest assessment; the near‑side rear tyre recorded in 2025 suggests checking tread depth and edge wear, while the plastic sill covers indicate that underlying rust on the outer sills should be inspected for structural integrity. Overall the Volvo XC40 presents as a mechanically sound used car with only minor consumable wear, but a thorough in‑person inspection of the braking system, suspension components, and any signs of corrosion on the chassis is essential before purchase.
