2017 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · PN67 YPA

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test in September 2025 at 64,439 miles resulted in an advisory for slightly worn nearside axle swivel pins and bushes on both sides. While this did not cause a failure, it indicates the beginning of wear on the front suspension geometry that was not present in the clean reports from the previous three years of testing. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,160 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression, moving from 33,425 miles in 2021 to 64,439 miles in 2025. This low annual mileage suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which often helps prevent rubber components from per and brake calipers seizing. The lack of any recorded defects between 2021 and 2023 suggests the previous owner maintained the car to high standards during that period. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension to address the advisory from the 2025 MOT. The technician should check for play in the axle arm bushes and ensure the swivel pins are not excessively worn, as these will eventually lead to steering inaccuracies and uneven tyre wear. Because the 2024 test noted an obstructed adult seat belt due to a child seat, the buyer must also verify that all seatbelts are functional and accessible without obstruction to ensure compliance with safety standards.
