2015 Volvo V40 1.6L Petrol · RK15 AEO

The 2015 Volvo V40 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent passed MOT on 29 August 2025 at 75,527 miles recording no defects. The test history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across five consecutive annual examinations. A failed test logged on the same date at identical mileage but with no defects recorded points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical concern. Annual mileage sits at a typical 6,866 miles per year against the vehicle's eleven-year life, with the record tracing 60,216 miles in September 2022, 64,382 in September 2023, 69,133 in September 2024, and 75,527 by August 2025. The progression is linear and modest, showing no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps. The clean sweep of passes with zero advisories suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that avoided even minor consumable wear flags such as tyres or wipers reaching test-threshold limits. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the age and the absence of any tester-raised advisories that might otherwise reveal emerging wear. The lack of recorded faults offers no diagnostic trail on binding calipers or exhaust emissions deterioration, so physical checks on these systems remain prudent. The duplicate 29 August 2025 entries warrant a DVSA record clarification to confirm the failure cause before purchase completion.
