2014 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · RL12 ARD

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 June 2025 at 90,816 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying any immediate issues identified by the tester, as the vehicle has maintained a clean advisory record across the last two successful tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between July 2023 at 70,294 miles and June 2024 at 76,278 miles, the car covered roughly 6,000 miles. A more significant interval of 14,538 miles was recorded between June 2024 and June 2025. This steady accumulation indicates regular use, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and mechanical components often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the history is clean of recurring mechanical faults, the failures in 2023 and 2025 indicate that the vehicle has components that require periodic attention to meet MOT standards. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the front suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on the V40 at this mileage. Given the age of the car, checking for early-stage corrosion on the exhaust system and underbody is also advisable to ensure no structural rust is developing that has not yet been flagged as an advisory.
