AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Volvo V40 passed its most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 at 69,598 miles, a test conducted within four months of the current date, with no defects recorded and confirming a presently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend across the supplied history stays stable, showing clean passes in February 2023 at 50,169 miles and March 2024 at 56,002 miles, then a failed entry on 11 March 2025 at 64,025 miles that listed no defects and was superseded by a pass at 64,029 miles later that same day, before the clean 2026 certificate. Mileage accumulation matches typical use for an eleven-year-old hatchback. The odometer climbed from 50,169 miles in the 13 February 2023 test to 56,002 miles by 18 March 2024, then to 64,025 miles on 11 March 2025, reaching 69,598 miles by March 2026. Annual increments of roughly 5,800 to 8,000 miles reflect consistent routine use rather than long stationary periods. The five-entry record contains no missing years, and the anomalous same-day fail-pass in 2025 points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection instead of skipped upkeep. No tester flagged suspension bushes, binding calipers, exhaust emissions, corrosion, or structural integrity concerns at any interval, so the documentary trail reveals no recurring mechanical faults or worsening pattern. Previous owners presented the car for timely annual testing, yet a zero-advisory record does not prove proactive renewal of consumables such as tyres or wiper blades between tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody rust points, as low-mileage MOT passes can overlook incipient wear not yet at statutory failure threshold.
