2004 Volvo S40 2.0L Diesel · SG54 KWM

The August 2023 MOT at 66,923 miles passed without any defects, confirming a stable maintenance record as of that date, though the test is now over three years old and the vehicle’s current condition may differ. The recorded mileage has risen from 62,973 miles in August 2021 to 66,923 miles in August 2023, an increase of roughly 4,000 miles per year, which remains modest for a 22‑year‑old vehicle and suggests regular, light use rather than prolonged standing. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, and examine the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, as these items appear in earlier advisories; the chassis rails should be checked for structural rust, and the exhaust system and structural integrity must also be confirmed. While tyre tread and wiper blades are normal consumables, the recurring mechanical advisories indicate that the owner has addressed issues promptly, but a physical inspection must confirm that the suspension components, braking system, and structural integrity remain sound.
