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

The 2014 Volvo V40 currently stands as roadworthy, with the latest MOT on 2 June 2025 at 67,146 miles passing without recorded defects. The succession of clean passes over the past four years indicates a stable maintenance pattern. Across twelve years the odometer reads 67,146 miles, equating to roughly 5,600 miles per annum – well below the average for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a modest rise from 39,859 miles in May 2022 to 42,467 miles in June 2023, then a steeper climb to 54,630 miles in May 2024 and 67,146 miles in June 2025, suggesting periods of more intensive use but no abrupt spikes. A prospective buyer should verify tyre tread depth and uniform wear, as tyre condition is not captured by MOT. Inspect brake pads and brake discs for glazing or uneven wear, and feel for any binding calipers during a road test. Examine suspension components – particularly the front and rear bushes and coil springs – for looseness or noise. A visual check for corrosion around wheel arches, undercarriage, and exhaust manifolds will confirm the absence of structural rust. Finally, request the full service log to corroborate the clean MOT history.
