2013 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · RG55 BUT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 108,423 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, following three consecutive years of clean passes between 2023 and 2025. While the car failed the March 2023 test for a low headlamp aim, this was a minor adjustment issue that did not indicate recurring mechanical or structural failures in subsequent inspections. The mileage profile is consistent with a well-used vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,340 miles per year. Between March 2025 and March 2026, the car covered 3,579 miles, indicating recent low-intensity usage. There are no significant gaps in the testing record to suggest long periods of standing, which often leads to seized brakes or rubber component degradation, though the most recent test result does highlight specific signs of age-related wear. A buyer should pay close attention to the front end geometry during a physical inspection. The March 2026 test flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn on the inner edges with signs of perishing. This specific wear pattern suggests an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed. If the alignment is not corrected, it will continue to cause premature tyre failure and potentially compromise handling stability.
