2019 Volvo V40 2.0L Petrol · SW19 XNG

The vehicle is roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 11 March 2026 at 48,172 miles recorded a pass with no defects, showing an improving maintenance trend after earlier tyre‑tread failures were remedied. Mileage averages roughly 6,900 miles per year, consistent with typical usage for a seven‑year‑old V40. The log shows a steady increase from 11,675 miles in June 2022 to 48,172 miles in March 2026, with no abrupt spikes or unexplained gaps, suggesting regular, moderate use rather than periods of neglect or heavy short‑term mileage accumulation. The 2025‑05‑29 failure highlighted rear brake disc wear and front tyre tread close to the legal limit, issues that re‑appeared in the 2023‑05‑10 test. By the 2024‑05‑30 MOT these tyre concerns had been addressed, and the 2026 MOT confirmed no lingering faults. A buyer should therefore verify current tyre depth on all four wheels, listen for any brake noise, and inspect the rear brake discs for scoring or excessive wear. Checking suspension bushings, coil springs, and for any corrosion around wheel arches will further confirm that the earlier wear patterns have not progressed to structural concerns. Overall, the MOT record reflects a vehicle that has been kept within normal wear parameters, with consumable items replaced in a timely manner. A focused visual and tactile inspection of tyres, brakes, and suspension will provide the final assurance needed before purchase.
