2013 Volvo V40 1.6L Diesel · SA13 HDC

The most recent MOT result on November 6th, 2025, was a pass. However, the history shows a concerning pattern of recurring issues, particularly involving corrosion on the front sub-frame and suspension arms, and issues with the coil springs. The history shows a significant failure on October 29th, 2025, where a front coil spring was reported as fractured or broken, alongside corrosion on the sub-frame and suspension arms. This indicates underlying structural or component integrity concerns. The trend in the MOT history is not consistently improving; rather, it shows repeated identification of corrosion and component stress points across multiple inspections. The mileage of 88,410 miles for a 2013 model suggests usage consistent with the expected annual mileage for this age, meaning wear on consumables and suspension components is expected. A buyer should immediately inspect the areas flagged repeatedly in the MOT history. Specifically, check the front sub-frame area for any signs of ongoing corrosion, and thoroughly examine the front and rear suspension arms for any signs of weakness or damage. Also, inspect the condition of the coil springs, as they were noted as corroded in both the 2025-11 and 2025-10 reports. Finally, check the rear tyres, as one was noted as worn close to the legal limit in 2024.
