2018 Volvo V40 2.0L Diesel · SF03 DFF

The most recent MOT was on 2025-11-25 — just over six months ago — and it passed with no defects at 51,657 miles. That’s well within the legal 12-month window and shows the car was roadworthy as recently as late last year. All four prior MOTs since 2022 were also passes, except for one on 2022-12-01 that technically “failed” but recorded zero defects. This is likely an administrative or system error — not evidence of a mechanical issue — and shouldn’t raise concern. The defect history is exceptionally clean: no advisories, no minor or major faults across five tests spanning over three years and nearly 28,000 miles of recorded use. There’s no pattern of recurring issues, no deterioration in condition, and no sign the vehicle’s reliability is worsening. On the contrary, the trend is stable and reassuring. At 51,657 miles and eight years old, the car sits at roughly 6,457 miles per year — bang in line with typical UK usage. It’s neither unusually low nor high mileage. This suggests regular, moderate use rather than long periods of inactivity or intensive driving.
