2014 Volvo V40 1.6L Petrol · PX14 VCY

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 15 February 2026, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. The record shows a clean pass at 130,287 miles, following a brief failure three days prior. While the history is remarkably free of recorded defects or advisories, the recurring pattern of failing an initial test only to pass shortly after suggests that the vehicle may have been presented without pre-test preparation or that minor adjustments were made immediately following the initial inspection. The current mileage of 130,287 reflects a consistent annual usage pattern of approximately 10,800 miles per year over the vehicle's twelve-year lifespan. The accumulation of roughly 16,000 miles between February 2025 and February 2026 indicates the car remains in regular, active service rather than sitting idle for extended periods. This steady usage is generally preferable to low-mileage examples that may suffer from seized components or perished seals due to inactivity. Despite the absence of specific advisories in the recent records, a prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components typical for a Volvo V40 at this mileage. Focus specifically on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these items often show signs of fatigue on higher-mileage models. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns, and inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion or oil leaks from the engine and transmission. While the MOT history suggests the vehicle is well-maintained, these mechanical checks remain essential to confirm the long-term health of the drivetrain and chassis.
