2017 Volvo V40 1.5L Petrol · PN67 YPE

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status following the test conducted on 2025-10-02 at 63,144 miles. The maintenance history shows a consistent pattern of consumable wear, specifically concerning tyre tread and brake components. The most recent inspection flagged the nearside and offside front and rear tyres all worn close to the legal limit, indicating that basic tyre upkeep has been neglected. This trend of approaching legal limits for tyres and the thinning of brake pads suggests a stable, but predictable, rate of wear typical for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The mileage accumulation over the past nine years is consistent with the expected usage for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 7,016 miles per year. The progression of maintenance records demonstrates that while the vehicle has passed all MOT tests, the wear is accelerating. For instance, at the 2022-10-12 test, the front brake pads were already 90% worn, and the nearside rear pads were 70% worn. This indicates that the brake system requires attention soon, and the consistent tyre warnings since 2021 show that the basic upkeep of the vehicle has not been prioritized. A buyer should inspect the suspension components thoroughly, as the history does not provide specific data on suspension bushes or coil springs, which are common failure points on vehicles of this age. The previous test in 2023-10-30 noted slight damage to the central obligatory mirror, which should be addressed. The brake system, particularly the front pads, should be checked immediately, as the wear rate suggests they will require replacement shortly. Structural integrity and any signs of corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and underbody, must be examined in person to ensure the vehicle's long-term mechanical health.
