2014 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · PX64 UFL

The 2014 Volvo V40’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-30 recorded a pass at 106,043 miles, with no defects noted. A concurrent failure on the same date also showed no defects, suggesting potential administrative or procedural issues. The prior test on 2025-01-14 at 100,405 miles was a pass with no defects, while the 2024-06-18 tests—both pass and fail—also reported no issues. This pattern indicates a stable maintenance record, with no critical or safety-critical faults emerging in the last 18 months. The absence of advisories or failures on major systems like brakes, steering, or exhaust suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained in recent years. The car’s mileage of 106,043 miles over 12 years aligns with average annual usage of 8,837 miles, reflecting typical wear for its age. However, a significant jump from 100,176 miles (2024-06-18) to 106,043 miles (2025-12-30) in 18 months equates to 5,867 miles over that period, slightly above the average. This acceleration may indicate increased usage or infrequent MOT testing. The 2025-01-14 test at 100,405 miles followed a 2024-06-18 pass at 100,178 miles, showing minimal mileage growth between those dates, suggesting the vehicle was driven sparingly in early 2025. The MOT history lacks detailed fault reports, which could imply either consistent reliability or incomplete data recording. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as worn bushes or coil springs, which may degrade over 12 years of use. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records does not preclude inspection of brake discs, calipers, or pads for uneven wear, particularly given the high mileage. Corrosion risks, especially in body seams or underbody panels, warrant scrutiny, as older vehicles are prone to rust in harsh environments. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as the car’s age increases the likelihood of fatigue cracks or panel deterioration. No specific advisories in the MOT history necessitate immediate concern, but a thorough pre-purchase inspection remains essential.
