2021 Volvo XC40 First Edition P8 AWD Electricity · PY21 HGP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 11 May 2026 at 97,650 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a minor initial failure on that same day due to an inoperative front windscreen wiper. This fault was clearly rectified immediately, as the car passed the retest with no recorded defects, indicating that major mechanical or structural failures were identified by the tester during the most recent inspection. The mileage profile is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 19,500 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between the May 2024 test at 49,244 miles and the April 2025 test at 73,084 miles, representing over 23,000 miles in twelve months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent long-distance motorway driving, which places accelerated stress on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres and suspension, as the 2025 record flagged all three tyres for being near the legal limit or signs of uneven wear. This pattern often indicates alignment issues or worn shock absorbers. Given the high mileage, a physical check of the brake discs and calipers for thinning or binding is essential to ensure the heavy AWD chassis has not stressed the braking system beyond standard consumable wear.
